Lucid Dream (CD)

Patrick's very first solo album as a leader, recorded in 2005.

Contemporary mainstream jazz involves many factors, including composition, instrumentation, and environment; but the musician's ability to combine all these variables into their own concept is what makes the biggest impact on the listener. New York saxophonist Patrick Cornelius brings together all of these elements on his acoustic debut, Lucid Dream, yielding progressive, melodic and aesthetically pleasing music.

Patrick Cornelius (alto saxophone), Aaron Parks (piano), Sean Conly (bass), Kendrick Scott (drums), Nick Vayenas (valve trombone), Gretchen Parlato (voice)
