Nocturne is delighted to host Dawn Clement in an quartet format with Seth Lewis (bass), Sam Williams (sax), and Dru Heller (drums) for two nights in November.  The music for these two nights will be a thoughtful mix of original works and arrangements that combine for a meditation on the changing of seasons. The aural landscape of this quartet is fluid, dreamlike, and deeply engaging.
