Chicago's Vandermark 5 are both prolific and predictable, yet usually fingerprint each album with an enticing twist. For Beat Reader it's the increased influence of newest member Fred Lonberg-Holm on cello, whether adding liltingly hummable bowed lines to the chamber jazz of “Further from the Truth” or igniting a Hendrixian bonfire on “Speedplay.” Elsewhere, Vandermark retains his penchant for making interlocking chock-a-block rhythms into toe-tapping melodies, and for creating compelling sonorities with saxophonist Dave Rempis on baritone sax or a variety of clarinets (like his wonderfully burred bass clarinet tones on the opening “Friction”). The rhythm section, especially tommy-gun drummer Tim Daisy, is typically staunch.
