Peace Flag Ensemble - "You Can't Pin Joy Like a Moth"

Our good friend Patrick Shiroishi lends his saxophone to Peace Flag Ensemble’s sprawling, pastoral jazz on “You Can’t Pin Joy Like a Moth”. Languid bass lines float above Jon Neher’s piano improvisations while expressive percussion and Shiroishi’s characteristic saxophone create a warm aural blanket perfect for casting off into an afternoon. Of the project the press release states that the result of these imporvisers is a, “pastiche of improvisation, composition, and collage that cycles through quiet moments of imperfection and discomfort followed by peaceful resolutions. It draws from such influences as Keith Jarrett and Mark Hollis. “Peace Flag Ensemble is the sum of its parts. Everyone leaned into their own intuition and inspiration”
