FRIM presenterar en duo med två av den europeiska improvisationsmusikens främsta musiker i Fylkingens nya lokaler i Bredäng den 20 november.  

FRIM presents a duo with two of the most distinguished musicians on the European improvised scene in the new whereabouts of Fylkingen in Bredäng on November 20th.


John Butcher – soprano and tenor saxophone
Ståle Liavik Solberg – drums & percussion

Over the last 7 years John Butcher and Ståle Liavik Solberg have been developing two parallel projects; their intimate duo music and trio collaborations with a wide range of  partners - Agnes Hvizdalek, Nick Stephens, Pat Thomas, Kaja Draksler and Barre Phillips.

The quartet STRAY with Dominic Lash and John Russell (on electric guitar) has released “Into Darkness" and a quintet adding Joe McPhee, Pascal Niggenkamper and Agnes Hvizdalek played the Kongsberg Jazz Festival.

They also have a quartet with Sophie Agnel and Pascal Niggenkemper that toured in Norway in 2022 and played this years Artacts festival in St Johann.

"Two high-class musicians talk to each other.. Butcher handles his saxes with enormous knowledge and Ståle Liavik his coordinated and «dry» drums with a wide register. The music lacks the anger that you can hear from many of Butcher and Ståle Liavik's colleagues. But who said you should be angry, especially on a record with this poetic name."
 Salt Peanuts - Lars Grip.

___

Hearts & Minds
Jason Stein - bass clarinet
Paul Giallorenzo - keyboard
Gerry Hemingway - drums

Hearts and Minds is a trio that combines brash fluidity, raw lyricism, and emphatic grooves, creating a daring and intricate musical universe. Bass clarinetist Jason Stein (Natural Information Society, Nature Work) and keyboardist Paul Giallorenzo (Ben LaMar Gay, PG Trio), both prominent figures in the Chicago jazz and improvisation scene, anchor the group’s dynamic sound. Originally formed with drummer Frank Rosaly, and later featuring Chad Taylor (jaimie branch, James Brandon Lewis, Chicago Underground), the live lineup will now be further elevated by the esteemed Gerry Hemingway. Hemingway, renowned for his work with avant-garde legends such as Anthony Braxton and Cecil Taylor, brings an exciting new dimension to the ensemble.

Ingrid Laubrock/Tom Rainey
The Me In You

Most welcome!


FRIM has the great pleasure of hosting two versatile and intriguing duos: the Stockholm based young and promising The Me In You along with New York based veterans Ingrid Laubrock/Tom Rainey.

The Me In You
Like two contrasting beings bound to the same path, Rasmus Mannervik and Agnes Persson let their instruments meet in a discussion of the big and the small, the eternal and the fleeting, the intricate and the simple. These two instruments, which in a conventional context often find themselves in conflict, are here given the chance to embrace the possibilities in their similarities and differences.

Rasmus Mannervik is a Stockholm-based pianist whose playing is characterized by great sensitivity and spontaneity. His touch is soft and emotional, creating a personal touch to the music that is hard not to appreciate. In his latest project, Af Klint Trio, he has created compositions and improvisations inspired by some of Hilma af Klint’s most well-known works.

Guitarist and composer Agnes Persson is one of the young jazz musicians who has revitalized the Swedish jazz scene in recent years. Her debut album In Collaboration With Flowers (Havtorn Records, 2021) stood out among that year’s releases on the Swedish jazz scene, much due to its original compositions and arrangements, all written by Agnes herself. The album was named Guitar Jazz Album of the Year in 2021 by the music magazine Lira.


Ingrid Laubrock/Tom Rainey
Brooklyn based Tom Rainey and Ingrid Laubrock have been performing together in many different constellations since 2007. Their duo brings together two of the most imaginative improvisers and composers currently active in New York. This tour celebrates the release of their 2024 release Brinkon Intakt Records. Both Laubrock and Rainey are prolific band leaders as well as in demand side persons.Between them they have worked with Anthony Braxton, Muhal Richard Abrams, JasonMoran, Tim Berne, Mary Halvorson, Tyshawn Sorey, Albert Mangelsdorff, Kris Davis and many others. Ingrid is also a prolific composer. Her work ranges from pieces for jazz ensembles to compositions for string quartet and chamber orchestra.

Ingrid Laubrock is an experimental saxophonist and composer,interested in exploring the borders between musical realms and creating multi-layered, dense and often evocative sound worlds. A prolific composer, Laubrock was named a “true visionary” by pianist and The Kennedy Center'sartistic director Jason Moran, and a “fully committed saxophonist and visionary" by The New Yorker.Her composition Vogelfrei was nominated “one of the best 25 Classical tracks of 2018”by The New York Times.

Percussionist Tom Rainey was born in Los Angeles, California in 1957. Since moving to New York City in 1979 he has performed at festivals and clubs throughout North America and Europe with a wide range of artists, including John Abercrombie, Ray Anderson, Tim Berne, Jane Ira Bloom, Ted Curson, Marc Ducret, George Gruntz, David Torn, Mark Helias, Fred Hersch, Andy Laster, Joe Lovano, Carmen McRae, Mike Nock, Simon Nabatov, New and Used, Matthias Schubert, Tom Varner, WDR Big Band, Ken Werner and Denny Zeitlin.

Rainey’s voluminous recording credits and the artistic caliber of the musicians he’s supported would easily place him on the A-list of drummers closely identified with the New York City modern creative jazz scene roughly from the late ’80s onward.
