Faught's muses

The Sophie Faught Trio we enjoy weekly on Wednesdays at the Chatterbox Jazz Club is traveling a new road — a vinyl road ­— with the release of Three Muses, an album of original jazz music by tenor saxophonist Faught, bassist Nick Tucker and percussionist Ben Lumsdaine.

"Every song in this collection is written for a specific painting by Steven Sickles," Faught says. " The paintings and the songs together create an immersive experience, an all-encompassing landscape rich in color, tambour, and perception. They plumb the depths of the symbiotic relationship between sound and sight."

The album, a limited vinyl release, will also include nine 11″ x 11″ high quality prints of Sickles' paintings, whose contemporary abstract work invites a viewer to ponder and feel.


"Nick, Ben and I visited Steven's home, an amazing showcase for his art. He showed us all the paintings, told us some of his inspirations, and let us really view them," says Faught, by way of reiterating the process of creating Three Muses.
