One of the UK's most distinctive saxophonist-composers, Trish Clowes - described by Downbeat as "an improviser to be reckoned with" - releases her bold album Try Me, with her acclaimed quartet My Iris, transforming field recordings from London's Thames pathway into a vivid sonic map of carefully-sculpted writing, searching improvisation and atmospheric detail. Drawing on the sounds of footsteps, bird calls, the distant echoes of buskers, cathedral bells, passing voices, the restless movement of water itself, and the intriguing acoustic spaces of the river's edge, Try Me transforms fragments of the city into music of striking detail and atmosphere. The album moves from the restless motion of walking through London to the enigmatic world of St Saviour's Dock, where saxophone multiphonics, piano resonance and the clear, searching voice of the soprano saxophone help shape one of Clowes' most evocative recordings to date.
