sidewinder Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I saw them in the group 'Sleepthief' over here, not too long before Laubrock relocated to NYC and they are most definitely worth seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 they good! don't know the duo yet, but yeah, go if you have a chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Reynolds Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Seriously for those non NYC area people who don't get a chance to see these two live very often, enjoy the opportunity. Rainey on a good night will bend your brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 recommend something for me with her (Rainey's great, I even worked with him once); I just don't find her playing compelling, but I am willing to be convinced otherwise.

Leeway Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 recommend something for me with her (Rainey's great, I even worked with him once); I just don't find her playing compelling, but I am willing to be convinced otherwise. I like her quite a bit, and she really shines in live performance. Not sure if you heard these, but they are a fair representation of her work: Tom Rainey Trio - Pool School- with Mary Halvorson and Laubrock - Clean Feed Paradoxical Frog - Kris Davis, Tyshawn Sorey, Ingrid Laubrock - Clan Feed Ingrid Laubrock Anti-House - IL, Mary Halvorson, John Hebert, Tom Rainey, Kris Davis - Intakt There are others to follow up on if you like these; conversely, if you don't, no reason to go further. Tom Rainey is playing extremely well these days. It should be a good show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Once saw Rainey in a trio with Mark Helias and some sax player - unforgettably great. I should recommend this trio to our local jazz touring agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigP Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Yes, I would say either of the two Paradoxical Frog CDs on Clean Feed, or the second Anti House CD on Intakt, Strong Place, are good introductions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Reynolds Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Rainey on a good night when he gets aggressive and interested in a few deep grooves is as exciting a drummer as can be heard live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Rainey is incredible....she is good, but lacks....passion. A sense that she needs to be there. But I admire her musicianship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 My wife will be out of town when they're in New Orleans, so that's a no-go .... sure would've liked to try. I'm always glad to see jazz musicians take a chance on a punk rock-style tour like this. I wish more did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Reynolds Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Rainey is incredible....she is good, but lacks....passion. A sense that she needs to be there. But I admire her musicianship. I've seen Ingrid when she is more subdued but I've also seen her a couple of times when she really had it going on - specifically with the Rainey trio with Mary Halvorsen. I tend to lose interest when the overly compositional nature of the larger ensembles suck the improvisational freedom out of the music. That was my experience with Anti-House live. I could have fallen asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Here are some clips of Anti-House Live. They play some lower-case type music (not strictly lower-case), which is what I think Steve is referring to, but they also play energy music. I think the purpose of the ensemble is to draw on the individual musicians for a collective approach, not just a free blowing session (although I like those too!). Anyway, I really like this group. Here are some clips of Anti-House Live. One can see different approaches the group takes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0K2OLo4QAk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSeWgyUC1Gs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqPcNsX30JU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Reynolds Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Just viewed the first clip - too bad they NEVER played anything approaching THAT when I saw them live!! That is the Tom Rainey and Ingrid Laubrock that are worth seeing at almost any cost. I guess I need to give the band another listen.....live and maybe I pick up the latest CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnblitweiler Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 from the Anti-House CD, "Big Bang" is hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I think Laubrock is impressive here. She solos at the 3:09 mark, but the whole track should be heard. She was in great form with this band at the Chicago Jazz Festival in 2011. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Ingrid%20Laubrock%20mike%20reed&sm=12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) which of those are you referring to? The link brings up more than one. If it's the first one, I didn't find her solo. Edited March 4, 2014 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 The duo is really great. They push each other quite well. Hope some of you all can get out to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
