Journey

Featuring: India Cooke | Joelle Leandre

Musicians on the recording

Joëlle Léandre – bass
India Cooke – violin

On Journey, violinist India Cooke and bassist Joëlle Léandre improvise in that exalted state of grace that every improviser hopes to attain. It’s a state in which everything they play just works. It’s as if they can’t play a bad note or make a sound that doesn’t advance the music. In this state, the music unfolds without prior arrangement and at speeds too fast for conscious control, yet it’s development and intent is always clear. That deep communication between two or more people is exactly what players and listeners alike look for in improvisation. It happens whenever Cooke and Leandre play
