Instant Composers Pool Orchestra at the Guelph Jazz Festival 2008

River Run Centre, Guelph, ON Sep. 05, 2008

The Instant Composers' Pool Orchestra has a combative friendship at its heart - the Dutch duo of pianist and composer Misha Mengelberg and drummer Han Bennink has been going strong for more than forty years. Through the decades, they've nurtured an ensemble of musicians that keeps playful improvisation and creative composition at its core.

At this Guelph Jazz Festival concert, the players' solos butt up against each other, Han Bennink goes running across the stage and Misha Mengelberg keeps it all together at the piano.

Thank you for posting this , I did not know how to upload from the site . I was at this show and sat 20 feet from the stage it was a great experience to see this show , tried to get pictures but security there kept bothering me due to the fact someone beside me was using a crappy cellphone with a flash to take pictures and I got the blame for all her efforts . Wallsofsound if it is anytime you can make to Ontario the best is during the Guelph Jazz Festival -

p.s.: i realised you split the file at about 100mb - rapidshare.com allows files up to 200mb for quite a while. just for your info - maybe it was all intentional... ;) cheers

Thanks for posting this. I presented a paper at the Colloquium but had to leave before this show (I think I returned to Chicago on the 3rd). Glad to have the chance to hear it.

Thank you for the ICP set. I saw them the same summer at the Annual Chicago Jazz Fest. A pleasure.

This band is new to me. I must find some time in the next week to listen to the current crop of great music.

jazzme: I'll be in Toronto in July. Work and a family holiday, so it's find the best music when I'm there.
