Satori - In The Corners Of Clouds [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Saxophonist and composer Josephine Davies is engaged in a continually evolving, creative musical expedition with near-chordless trio project Satori; and for this second recording, 'In the Corners of Clouds', she welcomes drummer James Maddren alongside existing double bassist Dave Whitford to explore eight original numbers, fronted by her own inquiring tenor resonances. rr

Comprised almost entirely of first takes, the less-rehearsed immediacy of Satori's sound is fundamental to the ambiences which Davies seeks, and is encapsulated in opening number 'Wabi Sabi', named after a Japanese philosophy which embraces and celebrates the beauty in imperfection. Here, Whitford's rhythmic ostinato and the core melody are broken up, creating an oriental long groove for improvisation before being put back together into a similarly beautiful state. rr

Other tracks include the impassioned weight of Coltrane-like tune, 'Cry', pushes tenor out close and high, dramatized by rumbling bass and drums, only to be contrasted by the joyful South African township sway of 'Lazy'. To close, 'Scattered' (a favourite of the saxophonist) travels through differing key centres, sans time signature, with complete abandon. rr
