Richard Davies

I am a UK saxophonist experimenting with cinematic sounds and marrying jazz, blues, the electronic and ambient styles. I have been playing tenor and soprano sax for over 30 years and have a dozen albums to my name as well as appearing on many other titles across a number of genres. I also dabble in keyboards and electronics to create soundscapes.

This album is special. It has a huge number of ideas, each of which is taken, worked, and fits the theme of traveling beautifully. There is movement, change, and some similarities which tie things together, and the sax is used effectively to create moments of harmony, disharmony, and crazily effective music which both surprises, delights, and fulfils. From the gentle and beautiful ‘Dance, Robot Dance’ to the off-balance harmonics in ‘Rising’ and the powerful, spoken lines of ‘Mercy’, there is variety and the recording gives glimpses into the talents of the musician behind the release
