ICP Orchestra: Jubilee Varia
By Track review of "Jubilee Varia Suite: 2nd Movement"The band and respective musicians' legacy is well-documented, spanning several decades. Nonetheless, ICP's creative sparks reside within asynchronous projections of improvisation and structure. And it's quite an uncanny listening experience at that. Branded by a group-centric signature sound, the band affords its soloists numerous opportunities to stretch as this album is segmented into two suites.
On "Jubilee Varia suite2nd movement," cellists Ernst Reijseger, Tristan Honsinger and contrabassist Ernst Glerum conjure a dark panorama, built on staccato frameworks and linear phrasings. Here, the artists generate a contrasting silhouette, containing notions of grief and merrymaking. It's improvised chamber jazz, brimming with curiously interesting abstracts; one of many flourishing and mind-altering sorties executed throughout this masterfully orchestrated program.
