Ingrid Laubrock – Chaos? Fokus! Dienstag, 29.09.2020, 21.00 – 22.00 Uhr, SRF 2 Kultur Samstag, 03.10 Jazz Collection: Ingrid Laubrock – Chaos? Fokus! Dienstag, 29.09.2020, 21.00 – 22.00 Uhr, SRF 2 Kultur Samstag, 03.10. 2020, 17.06 – 18.30 Uhr, SRF 2 Kultur (mit Bonustracks) Bei Ingrid Laubrock ist die Biographie wie die Musik. Da kommen Dinge zusammen, die auf den ersten Blick kaum zusammenpassen. Und dann nimmt sie ihr Saxophon und spielt einen möglichen Weg. Wie soll eine junge Frau aus der deutschen Provinz in London Fuss fassen? Indem sie als Strassenmusikerin beginnt, an der Guildhall School of Music studiert und dort die Brasil-Szene kennenlernt. So entstehen erste Aufnahmen. Wie kommt sie nach New York? Indem sie den arrivierten US-Schlagzeuger Tom Rainey kennenlernt und mit ihm nicht nur ein famoses Free-Trio gründet, sondern ihm auch über den grossen Teich folgt. Kurz: Wo sich Chaos auftut, wird Ingrid Laubrock erst richtig warm. Was sie sonst noch alles auszeichnet, und warum es sich definitiv lohnt, bei der gerade mal 50jährigen Laubrock schon jetzt eine Bestandesaufnahmen zu machen, das diskutiert der Saxophonist Omri Ziegele in der Jazz Collection mit Jodok Hess.

Despite the recent change in political currents and a re- examination of national identity, the bottom-line question persists, “Is anything really going to be different?” In this context creative musicians go about the business of making a life and making music. The questions to be reckoned with rise to the surface as always, initiating valiant attempts to squeeze out some creative response to the inexorable truth; answers come with great difficulty and spawn new questions. It is a cycle of thought that deposits one in a temporarily liberating space with a license to go for it . one more time. Tony Malaby has been going for it on a regular basis since relocating to the New York area in 1995. Among the many projects that he has initiated, this quartet is of particular interest. My perspective on his music is unique: I have observed Tony’s compositional development over the past decade and had the chance to produce two of his recordings, including this one. Over that period of time we have had occasional discussions of formative processes and approaches to composition and improvisation.

  • 132 New on Maybe Monday
    New on INTAKT RECORDS www.intaktrec.ch One marker of bassist Michael Formanek's creativity and versatility is the range of distinguished musicians of several generations he's worked with. While still a teenager in the 1970s he toured with drummer Tony Williams and saxophonist Joe Henderson. Starting in the '80s he played long stints with Stan Getz, Fred Hersch and Freddie Hubbard. Formanek is also a composer and leader of various bands. One of his principal recording and international touring vehicles has been his acclaimed quartet with Tim Berne, Craig Taborn and Gerald Cleaver. His occasional groups include the 18-piece all-star Ensemble Kolos- sus, roping in many New York improvisers he works with. Currently his primary focus is the Michael Formanek Elusion Quartet with Tony Malaby, Kris Davis, and Ches Smith. In putting together the Elusion Quartet, interpreting his music with these specific musicians, Michael Formanek says he sought “a more direct connection to emotions: mine, theirs and the listener’s.” Hank Shteamer writes in the liner notes: "As one zeroes in on the details of Time Like This, it's clear that this sort of emotional immediacy permeates the album. You hear it in Kris Davis’ flowing, balletic solo on “A Fine Mess”; in Tony Malaby's ululating tenor cries on “The Soul Goodbye”; in Ches Smith’s raucous grooves on “That Was Then”; or the leader’s poised, sinewy lines on “Culture of None.” Elusive? MicHaeL FOrManek Certainly. But as this album proves, under the right conditions, with the eLusiOn QuarTeT right personnel, it’s still out there." Der New Yorker Bassist und Komponist Michael Formanek präsen- TIME LIKE THIS tiert mit seinem Elusion Quartett ein neues, wegweisendes Projekt.

  • Thumbscrew-Never Is Enough PR
    Bio information: THUMBSCREW Title: NEVER IS ENOUGH (Cuneiform Rune 478) Format: CD / VINYL (DOUBLE) / DIGITAL www.cuneiformrecords.com FILE UNDER: JAZZ How much is too much when it comes to THUMBSCREW? The All-Star Collective Trio Delivers a Decisive Answer with Their Sixth Album NEVER IS ENOUGH a Riveting Program of Originals by Tomas Fujiwara, Mary Halvorson and Michael Formanek A funny thing happened while Thumbscrew was hunkered down at City of Asylum, the Pittsburgh arts organization that has served as a creative hotbed for the collective trio via a series of residencies. Late in the summer of 2019 the immediate plan was for drummer Tomas Fujiwara, guitarist Mary Halvorson and bassist Michael Formanek to rehearse and record a disparate program of Anthony Braxton compositions they’d gleaned from his Tri-Centric Foundation archives, pieces released last year on The Anthony Braxton Project, a Cuneiform album celebrating his 75th birthday. At the same time, the triumvirate brought in a batch of original compositions that they also spent time refining and recording, resulting in Never Is Enough, a brilliant program of originals slated for release on Cuneiform. There’s a precedent for twined projects by the trio serving as fascinating foils for each other. In June 2018, Cuneiform simultaneously released an album of Thumbscrew originals, Ours, and Theirs, a disparate but cohesive session exploring music by the likes of Brazilian choro master Jacob do Bandolim, pianist Herbie Nichols, and Argentine tango master Julio de Caro. Those albums were also honed and recorded during a City of Asylum residency. While not intended as the same kind of dialogue, The Anthony Braxton Project and Never Is Enough do seem to speak eloquently (if cryptically) to each other.

ADLER Kris Davis (left) and Ingrid Laubrock at NYC's The Stone in June 2014 Kris Davis debuts Infrasound at Roulette in Brooklyn, Jan. 2014 • • • • t’s no small honor to land a six-night residency at the Stone, a dark and cramped room in Lower Manhattan that nonetheless remains one of the world’s leading avant-garde music venues. Recent I invitees have included Bill Laswell, Joe Lovano, Steve Coleman, Tim Berne and Uri Caine. When we met up with pianist Kris Davis, she was preparing for her own six nights in residence, from June 24-29. To look over the lineups was to think anew about her proliVc output and steady ascent as one of the most distinctive musicians of her time. Davis was planning a solo piano set along the lines of her CDs Aeriol Piano and Massive Threads. She would lead the quintet heard on her 2013 Clean Feed release Capricorn Climber. She’d also play in bands led by drummer Tom Rainey, bassist Kermit Driscoll and saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock. “On Friday I’m doing a pared- down version of Infrasound,” Davis said, referring to the band with four bass clarinets that premiered early this year at Brooklyn’s Roulette. “On Sunday, Ingrid, [guitarist] Mary Halvorson and I are playing trio. I call that Death Rattle because I wanted something so unfeminine. We have a really cool connection between the three of us, though it ended up being kind of tonal and pretty.
