Christine Tobin / Liam Noble: Tapestry Unravelled
by Chris May
After seven, mostly self-penned albums on the Babel label, Tapesty Unravelled is something of a departure for the Irish-born, UK-based singer Christine Tobin: all but one of the tunes are covers, and, for the first time, the setting is stripped down to a duo. But as on the earlier albums, Tobin weaves her signature mix of ...
Sol6: Sol6
by Chris May
Sol6 Sol6 Red Note 2010 When All About Jazz first interviewed saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock, in 2005, she said: “The older I get the weirder I feel the music is going to be. I have a feel of where it's going and I know it's going to get less ...
Fringe Magnetic: Empty Spaces
by Chris May
Trumpeter Rory Simmons' Fringe Magnetic was a highlight of the F-IRE Collective's festival launching London's smart new concert venue, Kings Place, in late 2008. Now we have the CD, which is released by F-IRE's fraternal co-activists, the LOOP Collective. The distinction between these two collectives, never rigid, is becoming increasingly blurred, as musicians move to and ...
A Saxophone is Her Only Constant
Some young jazz musicians find their style and move in lock, stock and barrel, making little refinements over the years but basically keeping their place. Ingrid Laubrock, a German saxophonist who started her career in London and has spent the last 15 years playing there, sounds happily unsettled. On tenor and soprano, shes omnivorous and pointed, ...

Jenny ScheinmanLe Poisson RougeNew York City August 4, 2009The chameleon-like but ever electric Nels Cline seemed at first to be an unusual partner for violinist Jenny Scheinman, but if anything the guitarist knows how to make things work and he pushed the quartet (with bassist Matt Penman and drummer Jim ...
Jonathan Bratoeff & Chris Vatalaro: Chapters
by Chris May
Unexpectedly, a trend has been developing among musicians associated with London's F-IRE collective to revisit the standards repertoire. It's not an area this experimentally inclined body of players usually inhabits, but the results so far--all recorded by duos--make it an engaging diversion. Saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and pianist Liam Noble were first off the block ...
Chico Freeman, Air, Walt Dickerson, George Cables: Buried Treasures Now On CD
by Chris May
Not to be confused with the Swedish trance and electronica label of the same name, the original Why Not label was an adventurous affair run by the Japanese businessman and jazz fan Masahiko Yuh for a brief but productive spell in the 1970s. With few contacts, but armed with an outstanding pair of ears, a cheque ...
Ingrid Laubrock: Sleepthief
by AAJ Italy Staff
Con il consueto acume che ne contraddistingue arte e favella, nelle note di copertina di Sleepthief Steve Beresford offre un'intrigante chiave di lettura per la musica proposta dalla neonata formazione della sassofonista tedesca, anche se londinese d'azione e spesso residente a New York, Ingrid Laubrock: immaginate una via di mezzo fra il trio Schlippenbach/Parker/Lovens e il ...
Julian Siegel Trio: Live At The Vortex
by Chris May
He may or may not be “mad, bad and dangerous to know," as a female contemporary famously described the 19th century poet Lord Byron, but there is something distinctly Byronic about British reeds player Julian Siegel. His cascading curls (an early nickname was Wig), penchant for black clothing, and the intense lyricism of his playing combine ...
