Award-winning saxophonist and composer Josephine Davies brings her dynamic ensemble Satori to RWCMD to celebrate the launch of ‘Weatherwards’, their fourth album on Whirlwind Recordings. The music is inspired by Josephine’s Nordic roots in the Shetland Islands and beautifully weaves together the band’s contemporary jazz background with a hauntingly evocative folk influence.In addition to Satori’s tours around the UK and Europe, Josephine also runs her own jazz orchestra, The Ensō Ensemble, which will soon release their debut album ‘The Celtic Wheel of the Year Suite’ on Ubuntu Records. She is also a member of the Harper Trio, with recent performances at Patras Jazz Festival and the Elgar Room at the Royal Albert Hall, and Espial, a free jazz group with a fully improvised album out last year on Discus Records.Piano **Alcyona Mick**Bass **Dave Whitford**Drums **Jay Davis**> ‘The powerful combination of fearless free improvisation and melodic empathy from these gifted players creates a powerful and timely statement.’ > > Jazz in Europe Magazine
