Thank you, dahlin and baystate, for linking to youtube. This album is also available to stream on Spotify here; "Contemporary Choas Practices," the composition, is the first three tracks, all lasting about 20 minutes (I know this is a "best track" tourney, but this is like me nom'ing "Cello Suite 1" instead of "Cello Suite 1: Prelude" -- I assume it's okay, it's intended to be heard together).

I believe this is a Tri-Centric Foundation related project, which is dedicated to preserving and teaching about the works of Anthony Braxton. Many of these players, particularly Taylor Ho Bynum (conductor 2), Josh Sinton (sax/clarinets, only appears on the other track), and Laubrock herself are all frequent players in Braxton's recent Creative Orchestras. Laubrock takes a lot of Braxton influence (compositionally) and doubles down.

I don't have a lot to say other than that I have been addicted listening to it since I discovered it very late last year. The four soloists are very strong here. This type of format, orchestras with soloists, which is not new at all, is where a lot of both modern jazz and classical composers are going and converging. Just last year had Christopher Fox' Topophony and Tyshawn Sorey's Pillars with similar set ups. It's a good time to be alive for Third Stream.

It was the first time I listened to both songs. While Linn Quebrada's song left me indifferent, that of Ingrid Laubrock impressed me a lot. Contemporary Chaos Practices by Ingrid Laubrock.

After listening to both in full, CCP is pretty neat, but mEnorme is a great track that gets my vote.

Okay, so please don't take this as a slam against mEnorme, which is a fine song, but Ms. Laubrock wins this by a wide margin. That is a most impressive, and downright gripping composition. And for a piece with "chaos" in the title, it's remarkably well structured.
