Hi, I have seen them live in Istanbul a couple of months ago, and it was fantastic. Most of the tunes they played were from their "Oh My Dog" CD. The improvisations were also spectacular. Don't consider missing their show... Cheers, Umit.
Hello,
I just recieved the good news that I have a chance to watch Misha Mengelbergs ICP Orchestra perfrom live in a few months! I really enjoy their CDs so I'm looking forward to it. But I was actually curious if anybody has seen them perfrom live recently and could say a few words about what they
are up to, and if they now in the 30s are still as good as they used to be. I had a brief chat with Mengelberg some years ago and he said that he had
lost interest in composing and now perfered just to improvise with the band. Does this still hold or is there a chance they will also play some of Mengelbergs compositions (which I really like).
