Both Sides

by MarĂ­a Grand

Both Sides cover art

On 'Both Sides', tenor saxophonist and composer MarĂ­a Grand uses the perceptual dualities of Joni Mitchell's classic song as a framework for avant-garde exploration. Grand's characteristically questioning saxophone and vocal textures delve into themes of illusion versus reality, creating a soundscape that is both cerebral and emotionally direct. The work translates the original's folk introspection into a modern jazz dialect, marked by visceral improvisational grit and haunting, open-ended compositions.
