background
The formation The Vandermark 5 has a double saxophone lead from Ken Vandermark and Davis Rempis; the rhythm section is formed by Kent Kessler and Tim Mulvenna. Guitarist / trombonist Jeb Bishop sets accents in the chord accompaniment, with angular guitar solos or a third main voice on the trombone.

reception
Dave Lynch gave the album in Allmusic 4½ (out of five) stars and said that the fourth album of the Vandermark 5 does not fall through the door with a full pipe like Simpatico , but rather gradually opens up to the listener. All in all, Burn the Incline is another strong release from Vandermark 5 ; Perhaps there was no further development compared to Simpatico , but it asserts itself against the standard of this extraordinary publication and virtually represents the growth of the ensemble into one of the best working groups in creative improvised music of the period around 1999-2000.
According to Derek Taylor, who reviewed the album on All About Jazz , The Vandermark 5 is arguably Ken Vandermark's best-known group. Of all the Chicago woodwind's projects, it has arguably the most touring miles behind it, and the voices that round off its ranks belong to the avant-garde of the city's still-growing creative music scene. The album is as good as any other before, sums up Taylor, in order to deal with the common sound aesthetics and philosophy of the Vandermark 5. And apart from the occasional decline into compositional excess, the album provides another compelling entry into an already impressive list of releases.
