Time Out / New York called him the "hardest-working saxophonist in new-music show business". Not without reason: KEN THOMSON , co-founder of the successful band Gutbucket - which has existed for almost 20 years - and musicians in several other bands, also writes numerous compositions, including for Bang On A Can, the American Composers Orchestra, the Asphalt Orchestra, the Jack Quartet.
He was also successful with his own band Slow / Fast. Well then (s) a KEN THOMSON SEXTET .
"21st Century Third Stream" Ken Thomson calls his concept that actually often sounds like a classical chamber ensemble, but also includes sounds and melodies that fit into our century. Thomson, known for being able to switch from one genre to another within fractions of a second, can quickly bring the energy level from 0 to 100, knows how to blend stop-and-go passages into his pieces in the most astonishing ways for music full of high tension, intensity and exquisite goodness.
