Posted 19 Mar 2018 Forgive me for confusing him with Rent Romus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Mar 2018 One of my favorite saxophonists - I have quite a few of his own releases - some of the most exciting new jazz releases I know of. Ballister & the 2 drummer band are both very intense and exciting ensembles. Was glad to hear him live last summer when he visited NYC. Very friendly when I met him.

Posted 19 Mar 2018 Excellent article. I buy all of his releases on his own label as soon as they're released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Mar 2018 Great read. I've enjoyed listening to him since Vandermark 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Mar 2018 Great player. It’s a pity that his own label is so difficult/ expensive to come by here in Europe. What I have is great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Mar 2018 I got to see him at The Lilypad in Cambridge, Ma last December. The Vandermark 5 was one of the premier bands of this generation, now Rempis is out there carving a bit of a reputation for himself. His percussion ensemble recordings are something to behold. Non-stop energy. He's also in The Chicago Reed Quartet's Western Automatic and Keefe Jackson's Likely So ensembles. I recommend all of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Mar 2018 Um... not for me. I'll bow out of the discussion since I have no idea if this is good free jazz or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Mar 2018 Excellent player, saw him not too long ago at the Blockhouse here in Bloomington performing with a friend of mine, percussionist Tyler Damon (who is moving to Chicago--well worth checking out if you haven't heard him already, Chicago-area posters).

Posted 21 Mar 2018 He’s good. Worth checking out live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Apr 2018 Agreed. One of the nicest human beings you will ever meet as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 15 Apr 2018 (edited) I have a few of his older CDs (Triage on Okka, and something else), I think I even saw him live once (with Vandermark), and found him nothing special. But the tracks posted in the article sound really good. Will buy a couple of downloads. And it is great what he's doing in the music community, this is a lot of work, I guess.
