Take That Back started as the meeting-of-the-minds of two veteran musicians, Joan Hutton and Sue Orfield. Drawn together by a passion for original music, both bandleaders are composers and improvisers, each with her own unique musical voice. Joan Hutton plays bass clarinet and alto sax and Sue Orfield plays the tenor sax. They joined creative forces with an incredible rhythm section of some of the Twin Cities’ busiest players–Ted Godbout (piano), Kameron Markworth (bass), and David Schmalenberger (drums)–and together they released an album of original music in 2022 (Take That Back, Shifting Paradigm Records) and have a new album scheduled for release on Shifting Paradigm in July, 2024.
