epistrophy arts Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 ICP Orchestra live in concert Monday April 3, 2006 Austin Scottish Rite Theater Austin, Texas www.epistrophyarts.org Quote
king ubu Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 *do* go! I saw them in November, and it was one hell of a great concert! Beautiful music, from beginning to end... from Ellington to "conducted" pieces (meaning the violin lady, the 'bonist, or - most funny to watch - the elderly cello-maniac jumping around in the middle of a stage like doing some kind of tarantella and giving handsigns to all the other musicians...) What a great bunch of musicians! And Mengelberg, although looking pretty old and tired, still is able to create whole soundscapes with just a couple of strokes. Among the horns, all were fine, wtih Delius (definitely a madman...) and Moore (what a great clarinet player he is! I too often just think of him as an alto player) providing highlights and Baars being the least compelling musician. Bennink is of course just great, so is Honsinger (the cello maniac). And the sound they get is simply stunning. All of jazz' history is in it, plus a lot more (free improv, european influences, marching music...), yet in the end they create something out of it that is standing on/for its own, completely, out of these most disparate sources they're using.

Alexander Hawkins Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Misha Bennink Honsinger wish they were playing here! Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 March 31st in Boston at the ICA. Nice pash-indian place across Mass Ave if anyone needs to add to Bennink's prrrresss rrrolllsss. Quote

gnhrtg Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 I know this isn't in the recommendations forum but any recs re ICP ? I love Misha M's work on Who's Bridge, Senne Sing Songand the disc with Dave Douglas (Four?) Agreed, Four in One is a very good disc - great solos by Douglas (even more so than Misha in this instance, imho). Baars usually does nothing for me (well at least the one time I saw ICP live, on his own disc, Four, and on Mengelberg's Two Days in Chicago). Expect some fine solos from Heberer, Moore, Delius, and Misha if he happens to be in the mood for bothering to play - and yes, fun it will surely be. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 (edited) I know this isn't in the recommendations forum but any recs re ICP ? I love Misha M's work on Who's Bridge, Senne Sing Songand the disc with Dave Douglas (Four?) Oh! My Dog! is also quite good. I have a number of their 70s releases also and it's really a shame that more of that material isn't on CD. Edited February 13, 2006 by clifford_thornton Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 They're regulars in Chicago - I think they always play two dates there, which is where I've seen them before. Particularly good was the Hot House gig, where I sat behind and to the right of Misha's piano. Pretty nice spot! Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 I know this isn't in the recommendations forum but any recs re ICP ? I really like the "ICP Plays Monk / Nichols" I also like Bennink's caligraphy. Quote
gnhrtg Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 I know this isn't in the recommendations forum but any recs re ICP ? Missed this the first time around. My favorites are Jubilee Varia and Oh My Dog. Their most recent, Aan & Uit, and Boospadje Konijnehol (I) are not bad but I would recommend them only if you are or become a fan. Quote
Clunky Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Thanks for the tips, I have to see which of these recs are actually available. Quote
