Whether adventuring into interior or outer space in her music, award winning
soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom continues to navigate her unique musical
path with creative abandon. Wingwalker, her 14th album as leader and
fourth album on the Outline label reunites Bloom with long-time bandmates Dawn Clement
on piano, bassist Mark Helias, and drummer Bobby Previte. After two years since
Bloom's last release "Mental Weather," she brought the band together in June 2010
to record new compositions written during time made possible by a Guggenheim Fellowship.
Wingwalker was recorded in Avatar Studio B in New York City with renowned
audio engineer Jim Anderson. The album features eleven Bloom originals and a solo
sax rendition of Lerner & Lowe's classic "I Could Have Danced All Night." From the
groove inspired "Life on Cloud 8" to the spare simplicity of "Adjusting to Midnight,"
Jane has journeyed further into jazz dimensions without a safety net. The CD also
features an extra mp3 downloadable version of the music condensed into a 5 minute
49 second event.
"There's something different about the way the music revealed itself to the band
in this recording. We didn't have a lot of preconceptions and that allowed a certain
freedom to open up and move the music in unexpected ways. All we had to do was to
let it happen." - JI Bloom
Jane Ira Bloom is a pioneer in the use of live electronics and movement in jazz
as well as "arguably the soprano's most distinctive and major voice… beautiful,
exciting, and adventurous" - Erie Times-News. She's the winner of the Mary Lou Williams
Jazz Award and the prestigious Guggenheim fellowship. She's the first NASA commissioned
musician and has an asteroid named in her honor. Her music is always lyrical and
provocative.
"Bloom is a soulful, futuristic romantic at heart" -
Michael G. Nastos/ All Music Guide
