Dana Saul is a pianist and composer. He has also studied jazz and 20th-century classical music. According to the press release accompanying the set, Saul “rejected many of my initial ideas of what I wanted for the group and honed-in on a limited number of musical obsessions.” This means that Saul’s “jazz” music follows the patterns of avant-garde classical composers like Gyorgy Ligeti, rather than following a set of standard changes in other works. from artmusiclounge.wordpress.com
