The revelation is Dawn Clement's piano, always ready with the lyricism or structure the moment needs.
Pianist, vocalist, and composer Dawn Clement has proven to be a joyful and formidable force in modern creative music through her work with Jane Ira Bloom, säje, Matt Wilson, Ron Miles, Julian Priester and many others over the last two decades. With Delight, she forms a captivating, tri-generational unit with legendary bassist Buster Williams and the singular drummer Matt Wilson, and creates a soulful, endlessly dynamic recording of mostly original compositions. Torchbearers of the tradition while trailblazers in evocative & surprising sonic explorations, Delight describes not just their gathering, but also the resultant music created - inspired, original and resplendent.
"In all this world of jazz, there are very few individual voices, no matter what the instrument, but Dawn has come up with a voice that's unique..." Julian Priester
