The Vandermark 5 deliver on the epic promise of 2005's The Color Of Memory with what may well be their most ambitious compositional effort thus far.

A Discontinuous Line presents a remarkable range of dynamic musical ideas and influences processed, as Vandermark fully leverages the vast experience & deep well of talent assembled in The V5's third lineup in their decade-plus existence.

Recorded in now-signature style by the Quintet and long-running producer Bob Weston (Shellac & beyond...), A Discontinuous Line sets a new tone in more ways than one immediately.

Call it what you will... Post-Bop, Avant-Garde, Neu Chamber Music, Free Jazz- it just doesn't matter any more.

What DOES matter is the monolithic edifice that has been so meticulously assembled by America's finest working jazz ensemble: an authenticity of materials, an integrity of concepts, the will to improve- and the courage to change.

Ten years of piledriving musical endeavor has resulted in perhaps The V5's most complex and engaging studio album yet.
