about
Commissioned by the Fabrikjazz Collective on the occasion of Irène Schweizer's 50th birthday, Theorie continues Barry Guy's successful syncreticism vis a vis the predetermined and the spontaneous. And while one senses the clear lines of demarcation between the two, the manner in which each is fueled or catalyzed addresses their mutual interdependence - a pivotal concern in Guy's aesthetic.
Two aspects of Theoria are particularly striking. The recurring syncopated orchestral riff is an unusual signpost for Guy, and therein lies its attraction. Of greater interest and import are the quick solo/small group change-ups with orchestral support during the last section of the piece. One hears not only a succession of individual voices, but a shifting textural tapestry as well. Put another way, these divergent concise statements blend to form a striking multi-timbred voice which is, in essence, the London Jazz Composers Orchestra.

Ubatuba
by Ingrid Laubrocksupported by 4 fans who also own “Theoria”
Ingrid Laubrock is developing into a very fine composer these days... Here she co-opts the services of Tim Berne (one of my Big 5) which takes the music another notch higher for me and also uses a Tuba in place of a bass (not common but it has been done before by both Arthur Blythe and Bill Frisell among others, as I recall)... Lovely playing with a lyrical edge and lots of detail...but with a fierce, intense quality as well and a fine balance between composition and improvisation. Tim Berne and Tom Rainey are old sparring partners, so there is some existing 'esp' here...the tuba and trombone are an intriguing combination too; lots of extended technique on display from all involved. It all fits together perfectly...this is a band full of composers but Laubrock's vision remains constant,I think.
