With her new album, 'Dusk And Dawn', the world's leading classical saxophonist Amy Dickson introduces a new side to the instrument and takes the listener on an unexpected sojourn through beautiful, lush, romantic music. 'Dusk And Dawn' draws on classical repertoire and more: the shimmering strings and sensual saxophone arrangements evoke the stylish cinema of the 1960s and early 70s; Broadway composer Jerome Kern and ‘The Godfather’ soundtrack composer Nino Rota sit alongside Debussy, Fauré & Chopin. Remarkably, ‘In the Neighbourhood’ by gravel-voiced Tom Waits also features. Without Waits’s evocative lyrics describing a grubby locale, the focus is on Amy’s saxophone – lyrical & expressive – transforming the song into a natural classic.
