Josephine Davies

Winner of the 2019 Parliamentary Award ‘Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year’, saxophonist Josephine Davies is a musical artist at the forefront of the UK contemporary music scene, highly regarded for her melodic focus, versatility and inventiveness.

Now becoming equally known as a composer, her unique voice is a blend of classical, jazz and folk music, creating an intensely dynamic sound infused with the Nordic quality of her Shetland roots. She was chosen as one of the Jazz South Radar Composers in 2020, and has recently developed that commission into a Suite for her jazz orchestra, ‘The Enso Ensemble’. Her 4th album with her main artistic project, Satori, is due out on Whirlwind Recordings in 2024.
