Recording information: AirWave Recording Studios, Chicago, IL (07/29/2003-07/30/2003).
The Wire (p.70) - "[I]t's the repertory material that catches the ear: brilliant versions of Eric Dolphy's 'The Prophet', Ayler's seldom covered 'Love Cry' and Sun Ra's 'Enlightenment', among others."
JazzTimes (p.134) - "Vandermark seems extremely comfortable in this particular setting, smoothly shifting from brawny tenor barking to contemplative clarinet musings."

The Chicago reed player Ken Vandermark and two drummers, Tim Daisy and the Sun Ra Arkestra's Robert Barry, take a set of modern jazz compositions by artists like Eric Dolphy, John Coltrane, and Albert Ayler as their improvisational starting point in this remarkable set. Using a surprisingly broad range of tonal colors, the trio's sonic explorations are often unusually sensitive, and frequently thrilling. Robert Barry (Legendary Core Member Of Sun Ra's Arkestra Circa 1950S/60S), Ken Vandermark (V5/ Spaceways Inc. / B61/ (((Powerhouse Sound))), And Tim Daisy (V5/ Rempis Percussion Trio/ Triage) Dig Deep And Find The Spirit Willing- And No Resistance While Conjuring Their Second Studio Effort As Sia.
Superb Homages And Collages To And By Albert Ayler, John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Dotson/Ra, Ed Blackwell- And Herbie Nichols' Sublime "House Party Starting" Complete & Compliment Five Sia Originals On Gate... So Dig The Double-Drum Vs. Reed Groove Now.

Gate is the second release by the Sound In Action Trio, yet another of multi-instrumentalist and composer Ken Vandermark's many ensembles. Unique among his many intriguing groups, the lineup consists solely of Vandermark and two drummers, each from a very different background. Tim Daisy, the resident drummer in the Vandermark 5, shares duties with drummer Frank Rosaly in saxophonist Dave Rempis' Percussion Quartet. As a seminal member of Sun Ra's Arkestra, Robert Barry has a decade of experience collaborating with multiple percussionists and navigating dense polyrhythms.
Much like this group's debut, Design in Time (Delmark, 1999), Gate features a program of originals and covers. Mixing in a selection of classic post-war standards drawn from the songbooks of Albert Ayler, Ed Blackwell, John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Herbie Nichols and Sun Ra, Vandermark balances a set dominated by driving, euphoric workouts with a scattered selection of more restrained fare.
Two drummers playing full kits in tandem is hardly revolutionary, but the trio's lack of either bass or harmony instrument does pose unique challenges. Fortunately, both percussionists have ample experience in similar settings, making use of attentive listening skills, dynamic sensitivity and immaculate timing.
To suggest melodic development, Daisy and Barry conspire to maintain bass pulses and tonal cues. They play with restraint and subtlety on "Medium Cool (for Paul Lovens)" and "Slate (for Paul Lytton)," which spotlight Vandermark's placid clarinet musings. Conversely, the two drummers drive Ed Blackwell's "Togo" along like an eight-limbed beast, furiously undulating while Vandermark stutters out staccato tenor riffs, pneumatically cycling through endless thematic variations.
A veteran performer, Vandermark is no stranger to ensembles devoid of traditional harmonic support. Roaming unfettered through these pieces, he veers from mellifluous lyricism to passionate exuberance. While he makes use of a plethora of horns, he concentrates on tenor and baritone saxophone for the album's many boisterous pieces, reserving his clarinet and bass clarinet for a nuanced approach on the few quiet ones.
Vandermark takes his muscular, brawny baritone on a resplendent run through Sun Ra's "Enlightenment." His impassioned tenor workout on Coltrane's "One Up, One Down" sidesteps comparisons to the master by avoiding clichés, while Daisy and Barry whip up a maelstrom of rhythmic energy.
Despite its unconventional makeup, the Sound In Action Trio demonstrates inventive ways to expand the possibilities of small group improvisation. These players convincingly reimagine standards dependent on solid harmonic development and lyrical exploration with a rollicking polyrhythmic frenzy and dedication to form that never abandons structure. Gate is a testament to Vandermark, Daisy and Barry's improvisational acumen.
