Tom Rainey Trio: Hotel Grief
by John Sharpe
In spite of a bulging discography, Hotel Grief constitutes only the fourth entry under drummer Tom Rainey's leadership. It follows Pool School (Clean Feed, 2010) and Camino Cielo Echo (Intakt, 2012) by the same all star line up, comprising Mary Halvorson on guitar and Ingrid Laubrock on saxophones. After two studio dates, this time out they ...
Ronan Guilfoyle: Hands
by Ian Patterson
In a thirty-year career as a leader, Irish bassist Ronan Guilfoyle has built an international reputation as a rhythmically advanced musician and a sophisticated, challenging composer. From indo-jazz suites to contemporary classical music (composed and improvised) and from extended works inspired by the writings of Samuel Beckett and James Joyce to suites for jazz guitar trio ...
Mette Henriette Martedatter Rølvåg: Mette Henriette
by Karl Ackermann
In her debut recording with the large Norwegian ensemble Torg on Kost/Elak/Gnäll (Jazzland Recordings, 2015), the playing of saxophonist Mette Henriette Martedatter Rølvåg may well have been lost in the pack. That Bugge Wesseltoft produced album was an unrestrained mashup of genres, styles and techniques in an octet that didn't easily lend itself to individual performance ...
Ingrid Laubrock: Ubatuba
by Karl Ackermann
It's hard to believe that German born saxophonist and composer Ingrid Laubrock has been recording since the late 1990s, perhaps because there is a distinct newness to every project she releases. Although she trained with Jean Toussaint in London for a short time and later with Dave Liebman, Laubrock is very much a self-made artist with ...

RelativE ResonancE: RelativE ResonancE
by Dave Wayne
The music of drummer and composer Devin Gray traverses terrains that will be familiar to those who've investigated artists such as Tyshawn Sorey and Steve Lehman. As complex and highly structured as Gray's music can be, there's a palpable human warmth throughout Relative Resonance which makes the music--in spite of its ultra-busy, highly demanding nature--kind of ...
Ingrid Laubrock Anti-House: Roulette of the Cradle
by John Sharpe
The fact that Ingrid Laubrock's Anti-house is an established working band is borne out by the degree of trust the German saxophonist places in her world class cast of collaborators. But even though she doesn't put in an appearance until part way through the second track, her imprint is all over the outfit's third release, which ...
Gent Jazz Festival 2015: Part 1
by Martin Longley
Gent Jazz Festival Bijloke Gent, Belgium July 10-12, 2015 Part 1 | Part 2 A bold beginning was made with the festival's opening night, perhaps concentrating on some of director Bertrand Flamang's personal favourites. This evening was never destined to be a sell-out session, but ...
Ingrid Laubrock Anti-House: Roulette of the Cradle
by Stefano Merighi
Ingrid Laubrock è sicuramente un'ottima musicista. Lo ha ampiamente dimostrato sia come improvvisatrice negli innumerevoli gruppi di cui fa parte, sia come leader: con l'ottetto, con Sleepthief, fino a questo Anti-House, sicuramente il suo organico principale. Non facile però è dire quale sia la direzione prevalente della sua musica, la cui sovrabbondanza linguistica segnala un'ambizione lodevole ...
