The sound? Dharma infused jazzy pop. The flavor? Tantric philosophy meets avantgarde music. Willow's most recent CD, Bowing to Venus, released winter 2005/6, features 11 original compositions written in collaboration with her band. This eleven song cycle draws on the diverse influences of pop/alternative rock, bluesy jazz, soul, and world music. It is, by nature, a spiritual inquiry born of the transmutation of desire. Featuring vocals, guitar, piano/keyboard, percussion/drum kit, violin, cello, alto saxophone and soprano saxophone. As a whole, the project is inspired by a veneration of the sacred feminine, resting within and illuminated by the view of dharmic wisdom.
Achingly soulful vocals. Sophisticated, contemporary lyricism of a mystic heart. Transgenre compositions that weave pop, folk-rock, acapella, jazzy blues, world music, and gospel influences. Informed by mantra, chant and ballad. This debut album, released winter 2003, features12 original compositions weaving voice, saxophone, piano, guitar, bass, percussion, singingbowl, shruti box, shakuhachi and cello.
