About this concert
- FR - Un jazz activiste, axé sur la contemplation et des moments de pur bonheur. C'est ce que propose le collectif américain Irreversible Entanglements, mené par la musicienne et poétesse Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother). Dans 'The Great Bailout' (2024, Anti Records), son dernier album solo, elle aborde des questions de justice sociale et historique avec une intensité palpable, provoquant un bouleversement émotionnel chez l’auditeur. Irreversible Entanglements communique cette énergie, combinant improvisation et jazz traditionnel pour créer un rituel contemporain qui respire l'amour, la liberté et l'espoir. Le projet demande une écoute attentive et active du fait de la richesse des sujets abordés vocalement. Et en live? L'intensité musicale est décuplée, donnant tout son sens à la poésie. - NL - Activistische jazz met scherpe focus, contemplatie en momenten van vreugde. Dat brengt het Amerikaanse jazzcollectief Irreversible Entanglements, onder leiding van muzikant en dichter Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother). Ook in Moor Mother's nieuwste soloalbum 'The Great Bailout' (2024, Anti Records) maakt ze sociaal en historisch onrecht, verdriet en woede zo tastbaar dat het je niet in de kouwe kleren gaat zitten. Irreversible Entanglements combineert een gelijkaardige dwingende sfeer met de jazztraditie van vrije improvisatie. Zo ontstaat een eigentijds ritueel dat ook liefde, vrijheid en hoop uitstraalt. Luister met volle aandacht, want de muziek en teksten zijn zo gelaagd dat je geen moment wilt missen. En live? Dan komt de kracht van hun muziek en poëzie pas echt tot leven. - EN - Activist jazz with a sharp focus, contemplation, and moments of joy. This is what the American jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements, led by musician and poet Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother), brings to the stage. In 'The Great Bailout' (2024, Anti Records), her latest solo album, she conveys social and historical injustice, grief, and anger so powerfully that it leaves a lasting impression. Irreversible Entanglements channels a similar energy, combining the jazz tradition of free improvisation to create a contemporary ritual that also radiates love, freedom, and hope. Listen attentively, as the music and lyrics are so layered that you won’t want to miss a single moment. And live? That’s when the power of their music and poetry truly comes to life.

Irreversible Entanglements Biography
Irreversible Entanglements (IE) is a free-jazz quintet with an experimental punk mentality, that consists of poet/vocalist Camae Ayewa (often known as Moor Mother), bassist Luke Stewart, trumpeter Aquiles Navarro, saxophonist Keir Neuringer, and drummer Tcheser Holmes.
It is a community band playing deeply improvised, rhythm music full of love and social commitment. IE came together spontaneously, organically, in April of 2015 at “Musicians Against Police Brutality,” a day of protest sound and discussion in Brooklyn. All were artists and activists of varying degrees: Philadelphia-based Ayewa and Neuringer, and D.C.-based Stewart as veterans of the Mid-Atlantic noise-hardcore-experimental scene, while Holmes and Navarro as recent New England Conservatory grads. Each of the studio albums that followed — 2020’s Who Sent You? and 2021’s Open The Gates — developed this legend further.
In 2023, IE signed to the fabled Impulse! Records and released its most accomplished work to date, Protect Your Light, on September 8, 2023, primarily recorded at New Jersey’s historic Van Gelder Studios. It features eight examples of how IE’s collaborative composition strategies and Ayewa’s in-communion verses result in some of the most potent music being made in the third decade of the 21st century, music with communal light and love at its heart. Get to that love on time — don’t force history to guide you.
