Caroline Davis- Portals Volume 2: Returning
SKU: 7640120194246
Intakt Records is delighted to release their first collaboration with New York saxophonist and visionary instrumentalist, composer and activist Caroline Davis. Portals, Volume 2: Returning is a dedication to Caroline Davis' grandmother, Joan "Lady" Anson Weber, a British poet (1927-2010) who is a direct inspiration for Davis's artistic life. The pieces on "Portals, Volume 2" were written by Davis for her current quintet, which consists of some of the leading voices in American jazz - Marquis Hill, Julian Shore, Chris Tordini and Allan Mednard. They are joined by several guests, including flutist Nicole Mitchell, as well as vocal instrumentalists Jen Shyu, Nappy Nina, Julia Easterlin and Alexa Barchini to honor Lady's poetry with their voices (using spoken word and song). "Portals Volume 2: Returning, is an extremely special record. It is incredibly personal, but the spirit of the music is so generous and so vulnerable that the specificities of it's subject become invitations for the listener to experience the perspectival shifts of grief as an ecstatic pathway towards greater empathy", writes Wendy Eisenberg in the liner notes.
