This music has everything I need: acoustic instruments, a slow build, layers of atypical harmonies and rhythms being added each pass through, subtle melodies and combinations. Excellent work!

Stir Crazy Episodes 1-15
by Tom Rainey + Ingrid Laubrock
supported by 11 fans who also own “Three Scenes for Five Tenors”
the artists seem to downplay their achievement as something they just tossed together in the living room during pandemic lock down. Yet, it is a highly original take on the classic drums/sax duo. A huge range of musical ground is covered, and emotional content. A great album in any context, I listen to it often.
