"Saxophonist/composer Travis Laplante has devoted his life to finding new sounds, heard everywhere from the avant-punk jazz of Little Women, to the ever-evolving saxophone quartet Battle Trance, to mind-bending solo performances, duos with Gerald Cleaver and Peter Evans, and a collaboration with new music ensemble Yarn/Wire, about which Hank Shteamer of Rolling Stone said "head-spinning flights of circular breathing share space with sparse, prayerful lyricism." He doesn’t sit still, and if you think you’ve figured out where he’s going next, you will always be surprised. While the projects he leads are vastly different in terms of the sounds they produce and the musical communities he taps as collaborators, Laplante’s distinct approach to the saxophone always feels at home. Each successive release further focuses his artistic vision, and Wild Tapestry is a majestic and sophisticated continuation of Laplante’s brilliant career."
