I love this band...tight,wholly integrated, endlessly inventive with striking compositions.All their Intakt albums (there are 3 and counting) are wonderful and this one sees,for me, Tom Rainey in outstanding form (I loved his work in Tim Berne's Trio - check these out on Tim's Screwgun label)...Laubrock mixes the muscular and sinuous with the compositional and who can resist any opportunity to listen to Mary Halvorson? (I can't!).

about
Intakt CD 252
Anti-House is perhaps Laubrock’s most New York-centric band, comprised of herself on tenor and soprano saxophones, guitarist Mary Halvorson, pianist Kris Davis, bassist John Hébert, and drummer Tom Rainey. Bert Noglik writes in the liner notes of this third release «Roulette of the Cradle»: «Abstraction and reification, accentuation and accumulation, laid-back and pushing. The music of this quintet thrives on strong contrasts and the tension they create. The dynamic spectrum is almost taken to its limits, a lot of things are happening simultaneously.
Ingrid Laubrock calls the shots, always with an ear to the particular expressive potential and sounds of the individual musicians. Through her growing experience as a player this happens with increasing aplomb, which also accounts for the forward leap when compared to the previous recordings with the band – Anti-House (2010) and Anti-House: Strong Place (2012).
There is as much a desire for form as for opening up the playing process towards the unpredictable, the unexpected. It is especially the high quality of the musicians contributing to the unmistakable group sound of Anti-House and, at the same time, the powerful individual
styles that don’t just meld together but potentiate each other, as well.».

Dirt... And More Dirt
by Henry Threadgill 14 or 15 Kestra: Aggsupported by 20 fans who also own “Roulette of the Cradle”
I really appreciate that with such a large group of musicians the overall sound and experience of listening is really spacious, never cluttered. The lovely recording helps that a lot, and of course the compositional aspects that make it breathe are superb- it gets more and more fun as I listen again and again.

This quintet has acquired legendary status as a working unit...all the musicians are exemplary at their craft and DD is one of my 'Big5'...he is an exquisite composer of both depth and breadth of vision...you can instantly recognise Dave's DNA in a tune...what's more, you feel there is also so much more to come!;his powers of expression are so special. These compositions are from the heart and I can only suggest that you take them to yours...
