Through years of working together, saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and drummer Tom Rainey have developed a deep rapport and connection, working in larger groups alongside one another, but also in a duo that’s become one of their most potent avenues of expression. German-born reedist Laubrock has become one of the most ambitious musicians on New York’s scene, perpetually seeking out new compositional gambits to further contextualize her improvisational gifts, while Rainey – a vet who’s logged time with iconoclasts like Tim Berne and traditionalist like Kenny Werner – is that sort of musician who finds his path within every context, routinely improving everything he’s part of. A few years ago, they began working with the young Puerto Rican bassist Brandon Lopez, a figure of power and restless curiosity. The multi-generational trio’s 2022 debut album “No Es La Playa” is a product of locked-in free improvisation and the strongest context for Lopez’s outsized playing thus far.
