July 2006 gig reviews by Chris Parker

Ingrid Laubrock and Liam Noble

Monday 24

The week began with two great gigs: on Monday , Ingrid Laubrock and Liam Noble mixed spontaneous duo saxophone/piano improvisations with slowly coalescing Monk material, the odd standard, and occasional modern jazz classic (Mingus's achingly beautiful 'Duke Ellington's Sound of Love' a particular highlight).

Noble is a pungent, subtly powerful player with a highly original musical mind; Laubrock is one of the most versatile and thoughtful saxophonists, on both soprano and tenor, of her generation, as adept at carving out spontaneous improvisations as picking out an individual yet always startlingly apt path through chord sequences.
