ICP ORCHESTRA w/ Mary Halvorson + Marcus Rojas

Thursday, May 7, 20158:00 pm

Despite decades of performing, several things remain constant: a seemingly endless catalog of creative compositions, free-style improvisations that almost always defy expectations, and surprisingly coherent arrangements that often seem on the brink of disintegration which is now augmented with our musical friends from New York.

Ab Baars, clarinet/sax
Tobias Delius, clarinet/sax
Michael Moore, clarinet/sax
Thomas Heberer, trumpet
Wolter Wierbos, trombone
Mary Oliver, violin/viola
Tristan Honsinger, cello
Ernst Glerum, bass
Guus Janssen, piano
Han Bennink, drumsw/ Mary Halvorson and Marcus RojasThe Instant Composers Pool (ICP) was founded in 1967 by European music legends Misha MengelbergHan Bennink and Willem Breuker. The artistic vision is the “ICP method”, and the band has achieved international acclaim for its sophisticated improvisations, ingenious interpretations of landmark composers such as Ellington, Nichols, Carmichael, Monk, Mengelberg, and for the band members’ extraordinary level of musicianship. It’s a blend of European improvised music, jazz and an irreverent attitude, in general, which all combine into a smart yet enjoyable music that has astonished and impressed music lovers for several decades.
