Trish Clowes
by Vincenzo Roggero
1. Chico Buarque: Construção (Philips, 1971) This is a very new find, although released in 1971. Just take a listen, what a mind! 2. Joe Henderson: Double Rainbow (Verve, 1995) I was doing a lot of listening to Brazilian music recently (including the above album!) and as a result I was drawn back to this brilliant album. All roads lead to Joe Henderson. He's the person who brings it all together for me, ...

1. Chico Buarque, Construção (Philips, 1971). È una nuova scoperta, benchè l'album sia del 1971. Dategli un ascolto, geniale! 2. Joe Henderson, Double Rainbow (Verve, 1995). Sto ascoltando parecchia musica brasiliana ultimamente e ciò mi ha fatto recuperare questo bellissimo album. Tutte le strade portano a Joe Henderson, collega tutti i punti tra i grandi sassofonisti. 3. Charlie Haden, Paul/Motian, Geri Allen Etudes (Soul Note, 1987). La pianista e compositrice ...

La sonorità sia al ...

by Ian Patterson
Unable to undertake its scheduled April tour due to COVID 19, MY IRIS, the quartet led by saxophonist Trish Clowes, releases this live recording culled from gigs in Belfast and Galway in October 2019. Captured on Zoom recorder, Clewes has done an admirable job in producing a presentable sound on this digital-download, Bandcamp release. More importantly, in capturing for posterity one of the UK's leading jazz quartets in such fine form, MY IRIS Live! is an important document, and perhaps ...

by Ian Patterson
If it hadn't been that day, twenty some years ago when the young Trish Clowes first felt the pull of the tenor saxophone, it would surely have been another. Barely in her teens at the time, Shropshire-born saxophonist and award-winning composer Clowes already played piano, clarinet and sang when she went to see her Dad, an amateur trumpeter, play with the local big band. When I heard a tenor saxophone feature on In a Sentimental Mood" I thought ...

by Ian Patterson
Trish Clowes' stock has risen steadily since her debut, Tangent (Basho Records, 2010), which featured jazz quartet and, on several tracks, orchestra. That record announced a promising and ambitious voice, one equally at home with jazz and classical colors. Since then the saxophonist has continued to explore the meeting of jazz, voice and strings, attracting a growing chorus of admirers along the way. With the critically acclaimed My Iris (Basho Records, 2017), Clowes opted for a more stripped down, jazz ...

Trish Clowes Mermaid Arts Centre Bray, Ireland February 9, 2018 Almost five years had passed since saxophonist/composer Trish Clowes' only previous gig in Ireland, at the Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival 2013.
