2022 restock. Corbett vs. Dempsey presents a reissue of
Misha Mengelberg
's
Groupcomposing
, recorded in 1970 and originally released in 1978. Comprised of a one-time international free music supergroup, and originally released as the sixth production on pianist Mengelberg and drummer
Han Bennink
's ICP label,
Groupcomposing
has been largely absent from the history books. This is the case because the record has been so unavailable, certainly not as a comment on the magnitude and magnificence of the music. With its Bennink cover (take that
Andy Warhol
!) and its two side-long tracks, it is an improvised music aficionado's treasure. Mengelberg and Bennink are joined by Bennink's brother,
Peter Bennink
, on alto saxophone and bagpipes(!), with an incredible reed section of
Evan Parker
and
Peter Brötzmann
,
Paul Rutherford
on trombone, and
Derek Bailey
on guitar. Moving from peaks of intensity to droning deescalation, totally improvised live in concert in 1970,
Groupcomposing
should be heard in the company of related records like Brötzmann's
Machine Gun
(CF 020LP, 2018) and
Nipples
(CF 013LP, 2016), early
London Jazz Composer's Orchestra
and
Globe Unity Orchestra
, and
Manfred Schoof
's
European Echoes
(CF 008LP, 2013. The music is reissued here for the first time as a stand-alone CD, with original album art and an interior salon of never-published period photographs by
Gérard Rouy
. The first in an ongoing series of ICP reissues on Corbett vs. Dempsey,
Groupcomposing
restores a classic LP to its rightful place in the canon.
