Imagined while crossing the great american plains, 'Badlands' is the first solo album by saxophonist Cathy Heyden. Each side of the record reveals a different facet of the (the devil's) instrument and of the (accomplished) instrumentist. 'Coyotes' pulls out of studio recording the tour de force of a radical evocation of the wild and nocturnal immensity of the desert ; while 'Soda Lake' meticulously explores unexpected patterns and matters. Co-released with 213 Records
