Rare original! Half a century of fearless experimentation, boundary-smashing improvisation, and irreverent creativity is immortalized in !ICP! 50, the landmark LP from the legendary ICP Orchestra (Instant Composers Pool). Originally released as a celebration of their 50th anniversary, this album remains a vital testament to one of Europe’s most influential avant-garde jazz collectives. A golden jubilee of sonic rebellion, !ICP! 50 (ICP 050) captures the anarchic spirit and razor-sharp musicianship that have defined ICP since its inception. Featuring ICP’s core members and special guests, !ICP! 50 showcases the ensemble’s unmatched chemistry—equal parts precision and chaos, led by the late, great Misha Mengelberg and drumming powerhouse Han Bennink, the orchestra tears through compositions that blur the lines between jazz, contemporary classical, and free improvisation. Playful, unpredictable, and brimming with wit, this LP is both a historical document and a living, breathing work of art.
