More than a decade ago, saxophonist-composer Ingrid Laubrock met pianist-composer Kris Davis at the recently shuttered historic hang Cornelia Street Cafe in downtown Manhattan, before Laubrock had moved to New York.

Over the next years, Laubrock and Davis would inspire and challenge each other within varied musical contexts – and across a number of re-cordings – including Laubrock's critically-acclaimed quintet Anti-House, as well as other traditional instrumental role-resistant small groups and sprawling orchestral settings.

For the second installment of Laubrock's duo series on Intakt (after the Duo Laubrock-Takase), she and Davis stretch individual sounds of their like minds around seven original compositions and two improvised tracks, each crafted for the artists' unique interpretation as a duo. "Over the years we've just developed a certain language that's our language," says Laubrock. "We wrote most of the music specifically for the record, but didn't have an overarching concept." And: "I don't know many people I could do this with other than Kris," says Laubrock. "Musically, we are kindred spirits."

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.»
