Trish Clowes is a saxophonist, composer, and educator based in London. An improviser of considerable skill, she juxtaposes moment-to-moment creativity with an adventurous approach to modern composition that straddles post-bop and classical music. Her playing style explores the instrument's tonal and multiphonic potential without regard for artificial limits. Her tone is clean, resonant, and airy, wedding intimate lyricism to complex, sometimes muscular harmonics. She began her long association with the independent Basho label upon the release of Tangent, her 2010 debut for jazz quartet and chamber musicians. 2012's And in the Night-Time She Is There resulted in a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist designation. 2014's breakthrough Pocket Compass featured works for jazz quintet and the BBC Concert Orchestra. It was followed by 2016's whimsical My Iris and 2019's more exploratory, vanguard Ninety Degrees Gravity. Clowes signed with Greenleaf Music label for 2022's A View with a Room.
