On today's new episode of The Tonearm Podcast, saxophonist and composer Caroline Davis joins us to discuss 'Fallows', her debut solo album. Davis recorded the twelve-track set entirely alone during an artist residency at Ucross, Wyoming, using prepared saxophone techniques and an Organelle processing unit. The conversation covers the making of the album in close detail: aluminum cans dragged across a saxophone bell, hand-built drum sequences assembled through Pure Data patches, and the ancestral figures — Steve Lacy, Geri Allen, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Connie Crothers — whose presence Davis summoned throughout the sessions.Don't miss this particularly fascinating episode: https://podcast.thetonearm.com/caroline-davis-the-saxophone-reimagined-in-the-fallows/#Jazztodon #Saxophone #CarolineDavis #ExperimentalMusic #Ucross

On today's new episode of The Tonearm Podcast, Tomeka Reid joins us to talk about 'dance! skip! hop!', the fourth album from her quartet—and one of the more irresistible things to come out of avant-garde jazz this year. Reid discusses writing music she could bounce around to, the very physical demands of the cello, and what twelve years with the same four musicians does to a band sound.She also talks about her grandmother's photographs from Green River, Wyoming, and how those images keep finding their way onto her album covers, what the cello can do that other jazz instruments can't, and the philosophy behind the Chicago Jazz String Summit.Don't miss this special episode: https://podcast.thetonearm.com/tomeka-reid-the-low-seat-the-long-haul-and-dance-skip-hop-cellist/#Jazztodon #TomekaReid #Cello #JazzMusic
