In this clip from the new episode of The Tonearm Podcast, Maria Schneider describes how her longtime orchestra members approach each note with a shared sense of what the music is supposed to feel like—illustrating the point with the moment when saxophonist Donny McCaslin goes somewhere unexpected, and pianist Gary Versace follows him harmonically into outer space.

On today's new episode of The Tonearm Podcast, saxophonist and composer Caroline Davis joins us to discuss 'Fallows', her debut solo album. Davis recorded the twelve-track set entirely alone during an artist residency at Ucross, Wyoming, using prepared saxophone techniques and an Organelle processing unit.

The conversation covers the making of the album in close detail: aluminum cans dragged across a saxophone bell, hand-built drum sequences assembled through Pure Data patches, and the ancestral figures — Steve Lacy, Geri Allen, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Connie Crothers — whose presence Davis summoned throughout the sessions.
