Description:

Double Up, Plays Double Up Plus features Ensemble Double Up, who first appeared on Old Locks and Irregular Verbs, which was voted the best jazz album of 2016 in both the NPR and Jazz Times Critics Polls. The New York Times declared that release â??just as easy to picture in Pulitzer contentionâ? and NPR called it â??a masterpiece.â? On board are holdovers Davila (tuba), Hoffman (cello), Filiu (alto saxophone, alto flute), Macdonald (alto saxophone), Weinrib (drums, percussion), but this time featuring the remarkable three-concert grand pianos of David Virelles, David Bryant and Luis Perdomo. The interaction between the three pianists lie at the heart of this piece, performing an intricate contrapuntal dance of varying attack, register, and density. Much has been written about the unique, interval-based system of composition and improvisation that Threadgill has been advancing for the last decade and a half with Zooid. While that unmistakably remains a substantial element of the new works, Threadgill has loosened up on the rigors of that system to allow the musicians to play with greater intuition, resulting in music that feels more instinctive and flowing. Alive with the multi-layered counterpoint, and odd-angled swing that are Threadgillâ??s hallmarks, Dirt and Double Up Plus are rich with intricate detail and grand gestures. The varied instrumentation helps give a greater harmonic sense and greater timbral variety. Despite the compositional sophistication, for Virelles, â??it always feels like the blues, funky and soulful.â? All of the musicians give completely to this music, fully internalizing Threadgillâ??s unique syntax while dealing with all of its convolutions. In turn, everyone is given the space to express their own musical personalities. Completing the virtuous circle, Threadgill, playing alto saxophone at the end of Dirt, lets loose a spine-tingling solo, full of perfectly-aimed shots to the moon. - .. UP PLUS

2018 release. Double Up, Plays Double Up Plus is Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Henry Threadgill's highly anticipated follow-up to Old Locks and Irregular Verbs, which was voted the best jazz album of 2016 in the NPR and Jazz Times Critics Polls. Like on that release, which NPR called "a masterpiece," this album also features Ensemble Double Up, this time with the remarkable inclusion of three concert grand pianos, in addition to saxophones, flute, cello, tuba, and drums. Alive with the multi-layered counterpoint, and odd-angled swing that is Threadgill's hallmark, the work is rich with intricate detail and grand gestures.

Recorded at Water Music, Hoboken, NJ, September 24-25, 2017 Mixed and mastered at 4D Studio, Brooklyn, NY The factor of Double-Up having pushed me further (thank you) ...therefore this new activity has come about It became a clear imparative to write plus... a third piano added to 1+1 now 1+1+1 To put things in a little different light I can make a yo-yo hesitate, but to suspend a flower in mid-air without a stem this is more like six hands or thirty fingers more or less trying to do whatever ...I'm glad there is somebodies to thank, and much thanks to Kate Chumley. -H.T.
