Ken Vandermark - reeds | Elisabeth Harnik - piano | Didi Kern - drums

DEK is an improvisation trio which has been working together since 10 years playing concerts in Europe and the USA. DEK's music has a wide range of influences based on the different experiences of the musicians: sources based in Harnik's work as an internationally acclaimed new music composer, Kern's profile on the European underground rock scene and the improvisation scene, and Vandermark's two decades of artistic work, which has decisively shaped jazz in its contemporary form.

The combination of these diverse backgrounds and open-ended musical curiosity has developed an extraordinary group aesthetic- inclusive, expressive, and instantaneous!
