  • Description

    Free improvisations shaped by the Buddhist practices and meditations of both players on this duo session between the saxophonis Geoff Bright and Herve Perez.

    Samadhi, a Sanskrit word meaning "concentration," can refer to both the activity of Buddhist meditation and the absorbed state of mind of a meditating person. These improvisations reflect the practice of deep meditation prior to performance, contrasting with the "in the moment" freedom and spontaneity of the improvised performances themselves.

    Geoff Bright: bass and soprano saxes, voice
    Herve Perez: alto and soprano saxes
