Tara Davidson, a leading voice in Canadian jazz for over two decades, announces the release of The Reflection Of An Echo, her ninth album and first solo release in twelve years. The album marks a significant milestone for the JUNO Award-winning alto and soprano saxophonist: her return to solo bandleading, and the debut of her new quartet, the Marni Project.
Davidson has spent more than twenty years distinguishing herself as a performer, bandleader, composer, arranger, and educator. Since 2004, she has earned six JUNO nominations for Jazz Album of the Year, both as a solo artist and with Carn Davidson 9, the group she co-leads with her husband, trombonist William Carn. Her first nomination came in 2008 for her sophomore recording, Code Breaking. As a sought-after side musician, she has contributed to dozens of recordings, garnering nine additional JUNO nominations and winning the 2020 JUNO for Jazz Album of the Year: Group with Ernesto Cervini’s Turboprop.
The Reflection Of An Echo is Davidson’s ninth album and finds her joined by a formidable new quartet: Florian Hoefner (piano, accordion), Dan Fortin (acoustic bass), and Ethan Ardelli (drums). Featuring eight original compositions, the album showcases Davidson’s evolution and breadth as a composer, with each track offering a distinct mood while retaining her singular voice as an artist.
