Awake

Awake

Miguel Zenón, one of the most exciting new voices in the jazz world, takes his most personal journey to date on AWAKE. This is the third Marsalis Music release for the alto saxophonist and composer, who was voted the overall Best New Artist award in the 2006 JazzTimes poll. It follows CEREMONIAL, a program of original compositions that appeared in 2004, and 2005's JÍBARO, a bold reinterpretation of the rural music of Zenón's native Puerto Rico. Now, the alto saxophonist and his talented quartet plus special guests present a program that is sure to bring even greater accolades.
