Vandermark 5/Atomic in London

From The Guardian:

Chicago-based saxophonist and clarinetist Ken Vandermark’s long-running quintet played the first half of a spectacular double bill, also featuring Norwegian/Swedish quintet Atomic – and it was like hearing several decades of jazz evolution in an hour. Vandermark, as engrossing as a composer as he is powerful as an improviser, strikes a balance between order and freefall comparable to any band leader in the world.
