The Cave Of Winds by Tony Malaby's Sabino, released on Pyroclastic Records in 2022

Free Jazz Collective wrote:

Tony Malaby has not escaped the notice of the Free Jazz Collective. Last August we posted a fine review by Stef Gijssels’ of Malaby’s Turnpike Diaries. With live jazz music shut down tight, Malaby convened a series of performances under a New York turnpike bridge. You can find a nice, luxuriously long clip here. I love the oblivious cars passing behind the group and the young man who pauses to dance. As I understand it, Malaby came to refer to this venue as the cave of winds...

Cave of Winds opens with a short Malaby solo. Slowly the wind picks up, bringing a nice percussive thump from the bass, a flute-like melody from the guitar, and some slither from the drums. Like a string quartet, it is divided into sections...

The Madness of Crowds is the second album by Sleepthief, a free improvisation trio led by German jazz saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock with British pianist Liam Noble and American drummer Tom Rainey. It was recorded in 2010 and released by Intakt Records. The song titles as well as the album's title are taken from the book Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Scottish writer Charles Mackay.

In a review for The Guardian, John Fordham says "Laubrock's yelping lines over Rainey's battering percussion, her contrasting murmurings over damped piano strings and arrhythmic tappings, windy multiphonic sounds amid cowbell chimes and ghostly chords reveal an increasingly distinctive Sleepthief soundscape." - Wikipedia

Sleepthief is the eponymous debut album by German jazz saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock's free improvisation trio with British pianist Liam Noble and American drummer Tom Rainey. It was recorded in 2007 and released on the Swiss Intakt label. Laubrock and Noble played together since 2005 and recorded the duo Let's Call This.... While Rainey was visiting the UK they decided to get together and Sleepthief was born.

In a review for The Guardian, John Fordham notes that, "The music is free-jazz, but full of contrasts. Some of it finds the Monkish Noble banging chords while Rainey plays scattered patterns at half his speed, some has Laubrock's gruff, Evan Parkerish trills and whirrs drifting up and down over piano-string twangs and arrhythmic clatters." - Wikipedia

Camino Cielo Echo is the second album by American jazz drummer Tom Rainey, which was recorded in 2011 and released by Intakt Records. The record features the same trio as his debut album Pool School, with saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and guitarist Mary Halvorson.

The All About Jazz review by Mark Corroto states "The session sprouts in various directions, from the noisy thrashing of punk jazz to the almost ambient explorations of minimalism. Rainey spreads the composing duties between the three, but they seem to write with the same voice in mind."

In a review for Wondering Sound, Charles Farrell notes that "The players are all committed and resourceful — abundantly so — and they produce profound, jarring, and beautiful music. But they spend some of the time along the way having some fun, too." - Wikipedia

Pool School is the debut album by American jazz drummer Tom Rainey, which was recorded in 2009 and released on the Portuguese Clean Feed label.

The All About Jazz review by Chris May notes that "The 12 tracks move adroitly between the composed and the improvised, the inside and the outside, the sun lounger and the deep end."

The Point of Departure review by Troy Collins states "This date shares numerous conceptual similarities with Sleepthief. Both albums offer experimental narratives bolstered by considered interplay and impressively intuitive logic, with Halvorson's idiosyncratic electric guitar providing a far more assertive edge than Noble's crystalline piano." - Wikipedia

Huapango by Tony Malaby, Angelica Sanchez, Tom Rainey – Huapango released on RogueArt in 2022

Tony Malaby: tenor and soprano saxophones
Angelica Sanchez: piano, Wurlitzer electric piano
Tom Rainey: drums

"There’s no leading, no following. We’re in the moment together. They even know when I’m going to take a breath — I can feel it." Tony Malaby

"It sounds simple to say, but the three of us have real creative chemistry together. Chemistry is the difference between just a group of good musicians playing in a room and something magical happening." Tom Rainey

"The longevity of it means something — there’s so much life and love in this group. As for the music, it’s about the joy of surprise. For some people, the unexpected can make them uncomfortable — for us, it’s inspiring." Angelica Sanchez

Tony Malaby / Angelica Sanchez / Tom Rainey: Alive in Brooklyn, Vol. 2 2005

Troy Collins wrote for All About Jazz

...Sanchez once again eschews acoustic piano for an electric Wurlitzer, invoking the brooding atmospherics of late-1970s fusion as well as the aggressive pointillist attack of that hallowed genre's more impetuous artists. Malaby is a masterful tenor stylist: capable of both paint-peeling multiphonic excess and subtle harmonic experimentation, he is able to compress the big horn's timbre down into the range of a flute. Rainey is a longtime Downtown scene veteran. His varied experiences have endowed him with a deep wellspring of creativity, veering from nuanced, rubato brush work and angular metered grooves to throttling tribal rhythms...

Tony Malaby / Angelica Sanchez / Tom Rainey: Alive In Brooklyn released in 2004

Rex Butters wrote for All About Jazz:

"Alive in Brooklyn captures the buzz-prone Malaby/Sanchez/Rainey trio in the act on three extended performances, playing music improvised and occasionally arranged, keeping it exuberant and often enthralling. Their approach results in a unique flowing music, occasionally dissonant, but with unusual grace. Playing densely-toned electric piano, Angelica Sanchez nimbly keeps ideas coming. Tom Rainey drums with inspired variety. Tom Malaby plays sax with passion and driving fire.."
