The title track is a ballad feature for saxophonist Rich Perry written by Wiening with his soulful sound in mind.

Giovanni Russonello says, "What George insists upon most — from himself and his bandmates — is clarity: Melody is never sacrificed to flair or crossfire, even as the momentum builds."

Mark Corroto calls the album, "an impressive sophomore effort from this bright talent."

Dave will premiere the piece in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands with a European ensemble.

Kazemde says, "The music reflects a lot of my thoughts about race, identity, and blackness, the significance of African and Black art in our society, and the struggle for justice that many around the world have been engaged in for far too long."

The album is 20% off in our Bandcamp store TODAY ONLY!

Nate Chinen says, "Kazemde George is a tenor saxophonist, composer and scholar presently poised for a breakthrough with the jazz public."

Seth Colter Walls says, "Few composers have broader stylistic reach. But on a new album, “A Prayer for Lester Bowie,” he makes it all cohere."

Dave Sumner says, "Sanford’s ensemble moves with a subtle grace and unerring bounce in its step."

Check out the second single, "El Escorial."
