In writing this piece, I wanted to wrap Dawn in the improvisations of three very special musicians I've each worked with for over twenty years: Jay Anderson, Frank Kimbrough and Scott Robinson. Not everything they played is improvised, but if you hear something that makes you smile or gives you a little shiver, chances are, it's coming from their individual creative voices. They've been making me smile and shiver for two decades now. In watching everyone work, it was also very clear that the three of them, the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Dawn, all mutually loved working together. –Maria Schneider
