Translated from Sanskrit, Maitri (“my tree”) is an unconditional love and acceptance of self that extends outward into the world. Formed in Chicago bysaxophonist Caroline Davis, it has become a collective songwriting outfit for both her and Ben Hoffmann since its relocation to Brooklyn. Featuring soulful vocals over polyrhythmic grooves, the group also uses experimental sounds and effects to create a lush sonic landscape. Maitri is the soundtrack for the inevitable ushering in of the new world order
