Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fulfilling a lifelong dream to record with a string orchestra, the West Coast alto saxophone legend delivers some of his most lyrical and deeply emotive ballad work on 'Winter Moon'. The lush arrangements provide a sophisticated, melancholic backdrop that perfectly frames his characteristically biting, articulate tone.
