LAURA ANN SINGH'S FRACAS QUINTET
Referencing avant garde pioneer Ornette Coleman’s free form improvisations as much as Joni Mitchell’s emotive lyricism, the result is a rowdy debut that launches Singh as one of the more distinctive new voices in jazz.” —The Guardian
Laura Ann Singh (Miramar, Tomeka Reid) leads Fracas Quintet: a foray into the place where song, abstraction, and collective improvisation meet. These five distinctive improvisers move freely between composed material and open form, arranging melody, text, texture and noise into moments that range from intimate to unruly.
Singh's debut record as leader (October 2025, Out of Your Head Records) captures a band unafraid to test the edges of genre. Drawing on Singh's background in song and the ensemble's deep improvisational vocabulary, Fracas makes music that is lyrical, compelling, restless and, above all, alive.
