Known for work that resides at the meeting point of jazz, free improv, and modernist composition, German saxophonist and composer Ingrid Laubrock has put out a number of fine albums in the past two decades.

For improvising musicians, the duo is the most intimate of set-ups. Two musicians, alone together, reaching out and responding to the other in the moment, create a glorious frisson.
