David Murray / Francesca

Francesca is master saxophonist David Murray’s latest release via Intakt records. Following the 2022 release of his critically acclaimed album Seriana Promethea with his Brave New World Trio featuring Brad Jones and Hamid Drake, Francesca re-introduces audiences to David Murray’s unmatched compositional prowess and muscular sound, this time in the company of his boundless quartet.

 

Murray’s extensive discography, with over a hundred records, showcases his exceptional studio expertise as much as his on-stage prowess. Throughout his more than 50-year career, performing alongside renowned artists from Elvin Jones to the Grateful Dead, Murray infuses each melodic refrain with a language honed and refined by his diverse experiences. His musical journey has been a tapestry woven with threads of experience and innovation, resulting in a unique sound that is instantly recognizable.

The album serves as a testament to Murray’s endless creativity, showcasing his ability to seamlessly blend diverse musical styles. Recorded at Hardstudios in Winterthur, Switzerland, following a triumphant European tour, the album is a reflection of the quartet’s profound camaraderie and their dedication to exploring each composition with depth and nuance.
