On July 16th, Audiographic Records will officially release its first Special Edition: 140 copies of a 3 CD boxset by the band Marker, called "Roadwork 1 & 2/Homework 1." The material was recorded at three concerts during the group's tour of the Southeast, in New Orleans, Atlanta, and Chicago. Catalytic Sound is now taking advance orders for this $30 collection, which will also be on sale at the shows held on Marker's upcoming Midwest tour, from July 6th to 13th (see kenvandermark.com for listings).
These recordings will be made available through Audiographic's Systems vs. Artifacts imprint as digital download albums, also on July 16th. The ensemble's first album, "Wired For Sound," received 5 stars from the Free Jazz Collective, as well as other accolades. With this new collection from Marker listeners will be able to hear how far the band has come since that initial album was released."
