The legendary ICP makes its first appearance in Portland in over a decade! Formed in 1967, the ICP helped create free jazz and free improvisation and remain a vibrant voice in avant music.
Misha Mengelberg (piano, composer) was a co-founder of the Instant Composers Pool, the nonprofit collective of Dutch composer-improvisers-instrumentalists, with Han Bennink and Willem Breuker in 1967. He has performed in duo with Han Bennink for more than 30 years and led the ICP Orchestra for more than 20. His other credits include performing and recording with Eric Dolphy, John Tchicai, Derek Bailey, Steve Lacy, Peter Brotzman, and many others. For more information, see the European Free Improvisation pages or All Music Guide.
Han Bennink (drums) is a co-founder of the ICP, long-time associate of Misha Mengelberg, and one of the most in-demand drummers in Europe. He has performed and recorded with jazz musicians such as Dexter Gordon and Sonny Rollins, as well as European improvisers such as Peter Brotzman, Derek Bailey, and Willem Breuker. He trained as a graphic artist and has exhibited work in several media, including sculptures from found objects that can include broken drum heads and drumsticks; he also designs many of his own LP and CD sleeves.

In addition to playing solo concerts and his own trio, Ab Baars (clarinet, tenorsax) is a regular guest with the EX, Cor Fuhler, Michael Moore, and Michiel Scheen. Since 1990, his main focus has been on the Ab Baars Trio, which led to tours with Steve Lacy and Roswell Rudd; a collaboration with the Nieuw Ensemble, shakuhachi player Iwamoto and conductor Butch Morris at the festival Improvisations. Baars has also worked with Francois Houle, John Carter, Roger Turner, Sunny Murray, George Lewis, Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor, and Gerry Hemingway among others. More: www.stichtingwig.com.
