I've had relatively few performances as transformative as seeing Battle Trance, the saxophone quartet led by Travis Laplante, perform live in Los Angeles a couple years ago. Laplante's music has such profound sincerity and openness, I find it impossible to listen and remain unmoved. His latest, The Golden Lock—for a quintet featuring Erika Dohi on piano, Charles Overton on harp, Lizzie Burns on double bass, and Eduardo Leandro on percussion—takes a subtle but meaningful turn in the musical language used, and the result is as impactful and affecting as ever.
