Info zu Blood Moon

Vor über einem Jahrzehnt trafen sich die Saxofonistin Ingrid Laubrock und die Pianistin Kris Davis im Cornelia Street Cafe, jenem wichtigen Musikertreffpunkt und Veranstaltungsort in Downtown Manhattan, der leider unlängst schliessen musste. Die Begegnung ereignete sich bereits, bevor Laubrock nach New York umzog.

In den folgenden Jahren inspirierten und ermutigten sich Laubrock und Davis gegenseitig in verschiedenen musikalischen Kontexten – und bei einer Reihe von Aufnahmen – einschliesslich Laubrocks von der Kritik gefeiertem Quintett Anti-House und andere kleinere Ensembles sowie Orchesterwerke.

Für diesen zweiten Teil von Laubrocks Duo-Serie auf Intakt (nach "Kasumi" von Ingrid Laburock mit Aki Takase) entwickeln Ingrid Laubrock und Kris Davis ihre eigenen Sounds in einer gemeinsamen Klangwelt um sieben Originalkompositionen und zwei improvisierte Stücke, die jeweils für die einzigartige Interpretation der Künstlerinnen im Duo geschaffen wurden.

«Im Laufe der Jahre haben wir einen bestimmten musikalischen Ausdruck entwickelt und unsere gemeinsame Sprache gefunden», sagt Laubrock. Und: «Musikalisch sind wir Seelenverwandte.» (aus den Liner notes von Stephanie Jones)
