Irreversible Entanglements

Active since:

Irreversible Entanglements are a liberation-oriented free jazz collective formed in early 2015 by saxophonist Keir Neuringer, poet Camae Ayewa (a.k.a. Moor Mother) and bassist Luke Stewart, who came together to perform at a Musicians Against Police Brutality event organized after the slaying of Akai Gurley by the NYPD. Months later the group added trumpeter Aquiles Navarro and drummer Tcheser Holmes (a duo who also performed at the MAPB event) for a single day of recording at Seizure’s Palace in Brooklyn, and the full quintet’s first time playing together was captured for this debut. In four relentless bouts of inspired fire music the instrumentalists explore and elaborate compositional ideas drawn from their deep individual studies of free jazz improvisation, but the tone of each piece is driven decisively by Ayewa’s searing poetic narrations of Black trauma, survival and power

Irreversible Entanglements: Future Present Past

Read "Future Present Past" reviewed by Jack Kenny

by Jack Kenny

Irreversible Entanglements do not deliver coded music. Frustrated by music that only claims to carry a message, the quintet--Camae Ayewa, Luke Stewart, Keir Neuringer, Aquiles Navarro and Tcheser Holmes--fuses long-form improvisation, groove, and spoken word into a contemporary extension of the 1960s and '70s Black avant-garde. They originally came together to protest a police brutality event ...
