Ingrid Laubrock: Anti-House
by Nic Jones
Ingrid Laubrock's trajectory through the music reflects her choice of home. German-born, when she resided in London she was producing Latin jazz, but that proved to be only a passing phase.

And even if the imagery is most immediately resonant of summer in Portugal, the Clean Feed label's ...
