Free jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements return with their second Impulse! recording, Future Present Past.Largely recorded at the historic Van Gelder Studio, the album sees the quintet meld atmospheric jazz, global music traditions and spoken word into our shared story of existence - futures full of possibility, the present with all its uncertainties, and pasts as wellsprings of ancestral wisdom. Formed spontaneously in Brooklyn, NY in 2015, Irreversible Entanglements consists of poet vocalist Camae Ayewa (often known as Moor Mother), bassist Luke Stewart, trumpeter Aquiles Navarro, saxophonist Keir Neuringer, and drummer Tcheser Holmes. This album is five standing on the shoulders of legions: the healers, the alchemists, the rebels, the mothers and fathers who have fought and weaved and invented new ways of being, seeing and balancing the frequencies of this planet towards trans-dimensional liberation and universal understanding. This album follows IE’s Impulse! debut Protect Your Light (September 2023) which was lauded by critics on various ‘Best of 2023’ lists, including The New York Times, NPR Music, Pitchfork, BrooklynVegan, Paste Magazine, Vulture, Stereogum, Spotify, Qobuz, TIDAL, BBC Radio 6, The Wire and more.1.
