Josephine Davies ‘Satori’ Trio – The Globe, Newcastle
The inimitable and dynamic trio ‘Satori’, led by Parliamentary jazz instrumentalist of the year Josephine Davies, are delighted to present the music from their recently released third album ‘How Can We Wake?’ Inspired by the writings of the Indian sage Patanjali, this suite of pieces features Josephine’s continuing development as a composer and improviser as much as a saxophonist. Recorded live in the atmospheric setting of North London’s Oxford Tavern and featuring the superbly intricate musicianship of drummer James Maddren and bassist Dave Whitford, ‘How Can We Wake?’ is a beautifully creative and magical offering from Satori.
“Definitely a band to watch.” ★★★★1/2 (Downbeat Magazine)
“Winning immediacy.” ★★★★ (Mojo Magazine)
“Containment would never define Josephine Davies – This lady draws upon, and continually explores her own inner intuitive expression.” (Jazz in Europe Magazine)
This concert is presented by Jazz North East in association with Jazz.Coop at The Globe.
Venue tickets £10 and tickets for livestream £7.50
(You may like to pay more than the minimum if you are feeling generous or if there is more than one person watching).

Ali Affleck & friends – The Globe, Newcastle
American Ali Affleck moved to the UK 10 years ago bringing her passion for 1920s and 30s American ‘pop’ and swing dance friendly music with her. On arrival in Edinburgh she found herself to be the only young performer of the early jazz and blues genre, and although it took a while to find musicians to support her dream, Ali was nominated as Best Emerging Artist in 2014, and won the highly coveted award of Best Vocalist that same year in the Scottish jazz awards.
