Irreversible Entanglements are a potent free jazz group fronted by Camae Ayewa, aka Moor Mother. Amid performances across the U.S., U.K., Germany, the Netherlands, and elsewhere, they've recorded the albums Irreversible Entanglements (2017) and Who Sent You? (2020) for the International Anthem and Don Giovanni labels.
The group originated in 2015, when poet/vocalist Camae Ayewa, saxophonist Keir Neuringer, and bassist Luke Stewart performed in Brooklyn at an event organized by Musicians Against Police Brutality. Among the other performers were drummer Tcheser Holmes and trumpeter Aquiles Navarro, who joined the trio shortly thereafter for one day of recording at Seizures Palace in Brooklyn. Two songs composed by the instrumentalists, and one each by Neuringer and Stewart -- with Ayewa fronting all four with her intense, distressed, and defiantly delivered spoken word -- were issued in 2017 as Irreversible Entanglements. The digital edition was released that September, followed two months later by vinyl and compact disc pressings through a partnership between International Anthem and Don Giovanni. Strong reception led to gigs across 2018 and 2019, including Pitchfork Fest and Jazzfest Berlin. The 24-minute piece "Homeless/Global" appeared during the latter year. A second album, Who Sent You?, arrived through the same label arrangement in March 2020.
