The musical mental legacy of pianist/composer Misha Mengelberg has had a profound influence on many generations of improvisers in- and outside The Netherlands. Performances of his Instant Composers Orchestra are internationally recognised as’state of the art’. ‘Few bands run a gamut as broad as Holland’s ICP Orchestra, and none have ICP’s capacity to sound equally convincing with free and traditional structure.’ (Boston Globe). ‘There is not another band on earth quite like this one.’ (Coda Toronto).
