O’s Notes: The Empress is an all-female saxophone quartet featuring producer Pureum Jin (a-sax), production advisor Lauren Sevian (b-sax), Erena Terakubo (a-sax), and Chelsea Baratz (t-sax). They are backed by a polished rhythm section with Steve Ash (p), Joey Ranieri (b), and Pete Van Nostrand (d). The music swings on “But Not For Me”, “Caravan”, and “Mr. Syms”. The band is seamless with rich saxophone harmonies and strong performance from each member of the rhythm section resulting in truly engaging listening. Square One is an impressive start!
