On Friday, December 16, the saxophonist, composer, and bandleader Ayumi Ishito will release her debut studio endeavor, an album entitled View From A Little Cave. The new collection of songs, entirely composed by Ishito, will be available on all major digital music platforms. Furthermore, a record release show is tentatively scheduled for New York City in February of 2017.

Ishito has been an active member of the music community in New York since 2010, following her jazz studies at the Berklee College of Music. In that time, she has immersed herself in an array of genres, performing jazz, blues, gospel, funk, experimental, world music, and so much more. As a result, Ishito has become an increasingly well-rounded musician, a trait that fuels her unique original style on View From A Little Cave.

Ishito’s new album was recorded with her longstanding quintet, which was formed in 2011. Unlike traditional jazz saxophone quintets, however, Ishito’s outfit focuses on musical stylings more akin to indie, progressive, and avant-garde music. Her compositions concentrate on rhythmic shifts and ensemble texture rather than featured solos, differentiating her sound from other jazz efforts in the indie music scene.

As a particularly prolific performer and collaborator, Ishito is also a member of the jazz/blues band The Jazz Thieves, and the free-jazz/dome metal band The Eighty Pound Pug. In recent years, she has also performed with an avant jazz trio, Nova Project, which has recorded several studio albums.

View From A Little Cave was recorded in September of 2016 at Bunker Studios in Brooklyn. Fans can connect with Ayumi Ishito on her official website and social networking to stay updated on her releases. The album is due out December 16!
