No es la Playa

by BRANDON LOPEZ – INGRID LAUBROCK – TOM RAINEY

supported by

Giles The way everyone's equally billed is exactly right - all three bring ideas and innovations, and both challenge and support each other, take the lead or lay back. Gorgeous sounds and extremely listenable while being really complex and deep musically and technically. Total top class record!

Zachary Gillan A trio greater than the sum of its parts, and said "parts" are three of the top players in modern jazz. Less fire breathing and more space than one might have expected. Laubrock is one of my favorites in general, and she's seemed more focused on heady compositional stuff recently so it's nice to hear her improvising in a relatively straightforward jazz context (not to be confused with a "straightforward jazz" context). Favorite track: Saturnian Staring.

about

Intakt CD 376

Dreamlike experiences. Sparks fly and a musical interaction works without arrangement or plan. An organic musical process develops out of intuition alone. The same magic happens every time.
When Brandon Lopez, a New Yorker with Puerto Rican roots, joined the duo of saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and drummer Tom Rainey, this wasn’t simply about adding a plus one to the Laubrock – Rainey duo. Thanks to the young bassist (born 1988), already collaborating with musicians from Dave Liebman via Zeena Parkins to John Zorn, a new dynamic has formed involving all three. In this triangular constellation a different balance is achieved and an altered play of energies. They are clearly on the same wavelength, with a similar sense and understanding of overarching form, inner structure, timing, feeling, energy, density, transparency and
volume.
"Right from the first note the chemistry between them was right. The interplay between the three worked so effortlessly and naturally it bordered on telepathy. The three want to keep up the momentum and capture the magic moment," writes Christoph Wagner in the liner notes.
