Day Moon on CD

As a DownBeat Critic's Poll winner for Rising Star Big Band, arranger, and Soprano Saxophonist, Christine Jensen is constantly in motion leading her own jazz orchestra and small ensemble. Her latest release, Day Moon, represents a complete departure for Jensen. From spare, searching cordless combinations, based in postmodernism, even fusion sounds, this new sound morphs into a lush and meaningful exploration into jazz's pure roots and branches. Standards are even embraced, as a new way to express her love for jazz in all it's glorious beauty and form; the gorgeous piano is a constant, whether as part of the classic quartet's full sound, or the more intimate and quieter duo.
