Booking info

Winner of the 2019 Parliamentary Award ‘Jazz Instrumentalist of the year’, saxophonist and

composer Josephine Davies brings her dynamic ensemble Satori to Buxton to perform the music from Weatherwards, their fourth album on Whirlwind Recordings. Inspired by Josephine’s Nordic roots in the Shetland Islands, it beautifully weaves together the band’s contemporary jazz background with a hauntingly evocative folk influence.

 

‘Satori is among the most engaging young bands on the British scene… Cerebral, nuanced and reflective.’
