press release: British free jazz percussionist Paul Lytton joins Chicago’s multi-reed player Ken Vandermark in an anticipated hard hitting musical exploration of space and sound at Café Coda Wednesday March 11 at 8 PM. Ken Vandermark a MacArthur fellowship award winner is known for his seminal work with the DKV Trio, featuring drummer Hamid Drake and bassist Ken Kessler. Additionally Ken has performed with Peter Brotzmann’s Tentet, and trumpeter/saxophonist Joe McPhee. Paul Lytton is known for his work with saxophonist Evan Parker and bassist Barry Guy.
A description of Lytton’s approach is best summarized by the All About Jazz Review:
He has a slightly different reputation. Best known for his work with fellow Brit Evan Parker, this percussionist has played and recorded since the late 1960s and distinguishes himself by in fact being a percussionist as opposed to a drummer. Lytton does sometimes sit behind the kit but he is also apt to step away from it and play what he calls his "junk bag" of percussion instruments. The standard instruments such as cymbals and drums are found in his bags but so are items that aren't really instruments such as slabs of wood and junks of metal. The effect is usually a quite unique sound.
