CAROLINE DAVIS & ROB CLEARFIELD PERSONA - Anthems (Sealed) (CD)

Inspirations by Bergman - The name of the new ensemble founded by saxophonist Caroline Davis and pianist Rob Clearfield is borrowed from the title of a film classic by Ingmar Bergman. The special sound of the band Persona is the result of a fusion of Davis and Clearfield's unique musical identities. "Anthems", the ensemble's new recording, is, so to speak, the definition of their mission, similar to Ornette Coleman's groundbreaking album This is Our Music. - Musicians: Caroline Davis (alto saxophone), Rob Clearfield (piano, Fender Rhodes, Moog synthesizer), Sam Weber (acoustic & electric bass), Jay Sawyer (drums)
