Dawn explores the state of awakening. At dawn, we often find ourselves on an event horizon, a state where one is gradually becoming awake but at the same time drawn back into dreams. This realm on the outskirts of perception offers views into our backcountry of passions and emotions.
Dawn features the great John Ruocco on clarinet and tenor saxophone and Thomas Fryland on trumpet and flugelhorn.
