about

Critical Mass is the second album from the unique duo of Chicago reedist Mars Williams and percussionist Vasco Trilla, following his album SPIRACLE which received excellent reviews in the international press.
On this second album the duo use their technical skills to pivot reflective and meditative playing around the exuberant free jazz spirit, maintaining a sense of journey and sonic introspection through unusual and extended techniques; a beautifully balanced music experience.

My afternoon is a great one, thanks to this new music from Ken Vandermark! He leads a large ensemble as they explore some wonderful, new territory in creative music. Happy dance time! 😎 Rick Mathis
