More Info

Das Doppelalbum «Dreamt Twice, Twice Dreamt» folgt auf Ingrid Laubrocks wegweisendes Orchesteralbum «Contemporary Chaos Practices» von 2018 (Intakt CD 314). Auf «Dreat Twice, Twice Dreamt» präsentiert Laubrock fünf Kompo- sitionen in doppelter Ausführung. Auf der ersten CD interpretiert das neunzehnköpfigen EOS Kammerorchester Köln Laubrocks Kompositionen. Als Solisten wirken Cory Smythe (Piano), Sam Pluta (Elec- tronics), Robert Landfermann (Bass), Tom Rainey (Schlagzeug) und Ingrid Laubrock (Saxophon). Auf einer zweiten CD des Doppelalbums spielt ein filigranes Ensemble um das Kerntrio von Ingrid Laubrock, Cory Smythe, Sam Pluta und den Gästen Adam Matlock, Josh Modney und Zeena Parkins die gleichen fünf Kompositionen. Die beiden CDs mit Laubrocks Werken kontrastieren, divergieren und ergänzen sich. Ingrid Laubrock schreibt: «Die Versionen für das Small Ensemble habe ich zuerst komponiert. Ich habe diese Stücke aber nicht einfach für das Orchester umarrangiert, sondern sie vielmehr neu erfunden. Oft zoomte ich auf ein Detail, um ein materiell anderes Werk zu erzeugen. ” Als Ganzes malen die beiden CDs faszinierende musikalische Panoramen, inspiriert von den Traumwelten der Komponistin, gekennzeichnet von Laubrocks Kompositionsfähigkeit und den individuellen Färbungen und Schattierungen der SolistInnen.

Ingrid Laubrock, the German-born, New York-based saxophonist and composer, set out a new marker for the lively relationship between contemporary orchestral music and jazz-rooted improvisation with Intakt's thoughtfully-titled 2018 release, Contemporary Chaos Practices. Now comes Dreamt Twice, Twice Dreamt, an adventure born of that encounter, in which Laubrock presents five pieces played in two versions - on CD1 by Cologne's EOS Chamber Orchestra plus improvising soloists, and on CD2 by the composer and the same improvisers operating as the Small Ensemble.

Laubrock has long been drawn to that shifting interface between through-composed music, jazz, and sound-bending experimentation, and this might be her most satisfying fusion of those volatile ingredients yet. The orchestral 'Dreamt Twice' accelerates from pattering percussion, horn-blurts and Cory Smythe's tumbling free-piano whirls to big-ensemble chordal surges and back to pensively probing tenor sax reflections, and 'Snorkel Cows' similarly emerges from torrential piano streams and skittering abstract sounds to sax reflections against soft strings glimmers. 'I Never Liked That Guy' arrives in woodwind murmurs and isolated percussive chord-exclamations in the orchestral version, hovering piano trills and startled soprano sax outbursts in the Small Ensemble, while 'Down The Mountain, Down The Mountain' is solemnly searching and deep orchestrally, electronically slithery and then tentatively and sometimes anxiously dreamy for the small group. Laubrock seems to be turning composition from improv vocabularies, and improv as outcrops of intricate written materials, into new languages with this impressive release

Also out this month

Former Avishai Cohen pianist Shai Maestro, a Jarrett-inspired artist with correspondingly sharp intuitions for hooks that evoke haunting songs, releases his best album yet with Human (ECM), a set of tender and tempestuous originals and one reworked standard that puts his group, with bassist Jorge Roeder, drummer Ofri Nehemya, and downtown New York trumpet original Philip Dizack in the jazz-polls driving seat. Berlin-based drummer Diego Pinera’s Odd Wisdom (ACT) is a quirkily creative contribution to global jazz with David Bowie/Maria Schneider saxist Donny McCaslin, guitarist Ben Monder and bassist Scott Colley, and New York-based saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock’s Dreamt Twice, Twice Dreamt (Intakt) shows just how creatively, colourfully – and even catchily – jazz, improv, and contemporary classical music can converse.

D’une tout autre envergure se présente le nouveau projet de la saxophoniste (ténor et soprano) et compositrice Ingrid Laubrock, désormais bien connue des amateurs curieux et éclairés. Renouvelant l’expérience de Contemporary Chaos Practices, Laubrock a écrit une suite, Dream Twice, en cinq parties basée sur les “rêves”, en l’occurrence le souvenir de la rencontre avec un médium anglais qui communiquait avec certains morts. Opération risquée et ambitieuse qu’elle a réussi de main de maître en convoquant le EOS Chamber Orchestra, dix-huit musiciens placés sous la baguette de Susanne Blumenthal, et en invitant quelques solistes, dont elle-même, Sam Pluta (electronics), Cory Smythe (piano et clavier en quarts de tons), Robert Landfermann (contrebasse) et son mari Tom Rainey (batterie) qui s’intègrent parfaitement à l’ensemble. Le résultat est somptueux. Son travail d’écriture/organisation très fin et ouvert joue sur l’espace, les nuances, les couleurs, la profondeur de champ grâce à l’articulation, l’association des timbres et la répartition des masses sonores, et se déploie en nappes qui se superposent. Aucune lourdeur, aucune emphase, bien au contraire, la musique respire et nous entraîne vers des horizons inouïs.
Les mêmes compositions se présentent dans un ordre différent dans un second disque, Twice Dreamt, en version trio (Cory Smythe et Sam Pluta) avec trois invités : Adam Matlock (accordéon), Josh Modney (violon) et Zeena Parkins (harpe électrique), tandis que la saxophoniste fait courir son jeu sinueux et extrêmement maîtrisé, notamment au niveau du son. Si l’on voulait absolument simplifier les choses, on dirait que le premier disque présenterait une œuvre de musique contemporaine, et le second, sa version jazz. Mais ne me faites pas dire ce que je n’ai pas dit. Pour ma part, c’est un (double) disque comme on n’en entend pas souvent. Magnifique!

Dopo le puntate che abbiamo dedicato a novità dell'etichetta svizzera in agosto-settembre, torniamo sulla Intakt con uscite degli ultimi mesi dello scorso anno. Tra i musicisti che nella Intakt hanno trovato un interlocutore che li ha valorizzati in maniera sistematica c'è la sassofonista tedesca e newyorkese di adozione Ingrid Laubrock (a sue uscite con la Intakt avevamo dedicato anche tutta una puntata di Jazz Anthology del dicembre 2019): della Laubrock la Intakt ha adesso pubblicato il doppio cd Dreamt Twice, Twice Dreamt, il cui gli stessi brani sono interpretati sia da un piccolo gruppo che da una orchestra da camera più alcuni soliti. Con registrazionei dal vivo fra il 2009 e il 2017, The Deceptive 4 è il sesto album del gruppo Snakeoil del sassofonista Tim Berne, da una decina d'anni a questa parte una delle proposte più consistenti e coerenti del jazz più avanzato. In It's About Time, rivive Om, quartetto svizzero formato da nomi ben noti dell'avanguardia svizzera (Urs Leimgruber, Christy Doran, Bobby Burri, Fredy Studer), che con una musica sospesa fra jazz e rock ebbe un bel momento fra anni settanta e primi ottanta. Registrato dal vivo al festival Unerhoert nel 2019, Zurich Concert è un avvincente live che ci fa apprezzare la brillante intesa - malgrado si trattasse di una prima volta - del trio del chitarrista svizzero Dave Gisler con la trombettista americana Jaimie Branch, una delle figure di punta dell'avanguardia di oggi.

Er zijn artiesten die blij-ven rondhangen in ver-trouwde oorden en daar voldoening uit halen. Daar is niets mis mee. Er zijn ook artiesten die beperkingen voor zich uitschuiven, alsof het alternatief geen optie is. Ingrid Laubrock is er zo eentje. Haar recente parcours krijgt stilaan Braxton-allure. Dreamt Twice, Twice Dreamt is een poging om een droomdag-boek vorm te geven, hoe eigenaardig dat ook is. 2 schijfjes, 2 verschillende versies, met verschillende bezettingen (klein ensemble vs. orkest) en verhakkelde struc-tuur. Een uitdagende balans van vrij en gecomponeerd/hedendaags, soms wat droog, met sleutelrollen voor o.m. Sam Pluta, Zeena Parkins en Tom Rainey. Er gebeurt veel, heel veel. Te veel om uit de doeken te doen. Laat dit volstaan: het album vergt een forse investering, maar betaalt die dubbel en dik terug.
