Liner Notes:
This spontaneous, free-improvised session was recorded on a January afternoon
after a leisurely, spontaneous lunch. Nothing was planned or discussed
beforehand. First takes were the last ones, the ones you can find in
this disc. Natural, home-brewed, organic music.
The five musicians- Israeli soprano sax player and Kadima Collective
member Ariel Shibolet and four Bay Area Californians- pianist Scott R.
Rooney, trombone player Jen Baker, bass player Damon Smith and vocalist
Aurora Josephson, found themselves speaking the same language.
A language that suggests a common set of everyday gestures, based on
past experiences and elaborated through an abstract system of personal
sounds, always with an emphatic tone.
A language that stresses wide open minds and ears, constant cooperation
and shared attitudes.
A language of soft and patient moves, of split-second decisions, of gentle
balances and dense flux, of elastic and careful gives and takes, of changing
colors and dynamics, of laughter and serious expressions. A language
that is very intense, but at the same time very fragile.
A global language. It is a language of musical comrades and meeting minds,
always ready to explore new routes. A language that is more than words,
pure music.
