“The music of this CD is the result of a poem of Cathy Song called “Lost Sister”, which I saw while riding the subway”, says tenor and soprano saxophonist and composer Andrew Rathbun. “This music is vital. I hope many people get to hear it. You don’t hear playing and writing like this very often” says George Garzone. It features Taylor Haskins, trumpet; Chris Komer, french horn, Helen Richman, flute, John Stetch, piano & organ, Ben Street, bass, and George Schuller, drums and the emerging singer Luciana Souza. “This music was written specifically with her voice in mind”, says Rathbun. Enjoy!

Comments / Reviews:
"This CD is the result of a poem I saw while riding the subway. My wife pointed it out to me as we were travelling home after a New York Philharmonic concert. A local book-store runs a series entitled "Poetry In Motion" and included a portion of Cathy Song's poem 'Lost Sister' on this segment. As soon as I saw it, I heard a little melody; I think because of the way the poem is phrased and its innate rhythm. When I got home I wrote the melody down, and the rest of the piece was quick to follow..."
