Ingrid Laubrock’s Anti-House
The musicians in Anti-House are some of my favorite “voices” in the NY creative music scene. I feel blessed to know Mary Halvorson, Kris, Davis, John Hébert and Tom Rainey, both as musicians and as friends.
Serpentines
The septet’s music weaves together my compositions with improvisation and live processing, often in multiple simultaneous layers.The result straddles the boundaries of improvisation, new music and avant-jazz.
Ingrid Laubrock Octet
I chose the musicians of this octet when I was commissioned to write for the New Jazz Meeting 2011, a prestigious SWR radio production that has existed for over 40 years.
Collaborations
Ingrid Laubrock/Tom Rainey Duo
Tom and I have been playing together as a duo since 2007. As this duo is the core of many of my projects, it is particularly important to me.
Kris Davis/Ingrid Laubrock
Duo with one of my longest and favorite collaborators pianist Kris Davis.
Aki Takase/Ingrid Laubrock
I first heard Aki live in my late teens and was immediately struck by her expressive playing. It was a great for me to perform with her for the first time at the 2015 Berlin Jazz Festival. She continues to be an inspiration.
Andy Milne/Ingrid Laubrock
I first heard Andy perform with Steve Coleman and always wanted to connect with him. Our record "Fragile" is the the third album in a series of piano-saxophone recordings for INTAKT Records.

Kris Davis' Capricorn Climber

Mary Halvorson is one of my most important musical allies in NY and I feel honored to have been asked to play in this band.
