Saxophonist and composer Josephine Davies chose to name her trio after this Japanese Buddhist word due to its meaning of a moment of presence and clarity away from the clutter of thought. It resonates with the musical direction she is moving towards; simplicity of melody and harmony, looseness of structure, and freedom of expression. The band’s three albums are available here: https://josephinedavies.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-corners-of-clouds
Definitely a band to watch ★★★★(Downbeat Magazine)
Winning immediacy ★★★★(Mojo Magazine)
Refreshingly imaginative and invigorating.(All About Jazz)
This is jazz without a safety net.(The Jazz Mann)
Elegant and mesmeric.(All About Jazz)
Davies plants her feet and digs deep. Her tunes and solos have an introspective, mournful quality…that’s a style that stretches back to John Coltrane.(Stereogum)
