Rachel Musson, Pat Thomas, Mark Sanders

*2024 stock* ‘Live in Oslo’ is the sophomore album from Shifa, the outstanding UK trio featuring pianist extraordinaire Pat Thomas, celebrated saxophonist Rachel Musson, and sonic transcendent drummer Mark Sanders. The group derives its name from the Arabic word for healing and the music they make aspires to do just that.

This album follows their acclaimed, Downbeat 4-star debut ‘Shifa Live at Cafe Oto’. Listen to ‘Shifa Live in Oslo’ and discover contemporary master musicians celebrating the moment with fearless improvisational music inspired by silence and sound.

“Shifa Live in Oslo was recorded live as part of the Blow Out Festival 2019. The festival is always a special event on the European improvised music calendar and presents a mix of local and international artists. This particular year the concerts took place in a beautiful public library, and it felt a bit surreal creating so much sound surrounded by books, in a room usually associated with silence.” - Rachel Musson
