Joel Miller / Dahlen,Sienna - Dream Cassette [CD]

Following up on his Juno Award-winning 2013 quartet recording, "Swim," Montreal saxophonist Joel Miller teams up with vocalist and lyricist Sienna Dahlen for "Dream Cassette," where they pursue their own vision of what a "pop" album can be. Inspired by the melodic simplicity and emotional depth of American folk music, Miller marries his flawless technique and boundless sense of musical adventure with a desire for his music to connect with people. His free-spirited eclecticism has already been lauded by Downbeat magazine for "illustrating the cross-pollination emblematic of the Montreal jazz community," and by trumpeter Dave Douglas, calling Miller "a breath of fresh air and one of the great pleasures of the Montreal scene.""Passionate and creative, melodic yet exploratory..." - Downbeat.
