Dayna Stephens: Peace
Il trentaseienne sassofonista di San Francisco possiede ricco gusto melodico, bella pronuncia ed è protagonista dell'incisione: il gruppo lo accompagna con assoluta dedizione, offrendogli la cornice ideale e inserendosi con qualche singolo intervento. Com'è noto Stephens ha sofferto negli ultimi anni di gravi problemi renali e la salute precaria influisce in quella che potremmo vedere come "eccessiva distensione" o "mancanza di energia" in musica. Il sassofonista ha reagito con coraggio alle sue vicissitudini, privilegiando la dimensione espressiva a lui più congeniale con ottimi risultati. Un motivo in più per apprezzarlo e sostenerlo.
