I didn’t yet know about Gene accompanying my vocal heroes like Nancy Wilson, or recording with Wayne Shorter, or playing with Benny Goodman. I just knew I was in the middle of something special. I knew that day I had found a generous master to learn from, a kindred spirit in melody, someone I now call family.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“He is so at home with these tunes,” says Sturm. “Gene trained as an architect in college, so he really is an architect of these arrangements — and the complete freedom that happens in the moment, allowing us to come together in this new way every single time.

We lean into that. The album title Dream Dancing feels right because we find ourselves listening and being spontaneous to such a degree that we end up taking turns ‘leading and following’ in the dance.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anzic Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":48946945065268,"sku":"ANZ-0080-02","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV Download","offer_id":49136268476724,"sku":"ANZ-0080-05","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3 Download","offer_id":49136268509492,"sku":"ANZ-0080-03","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0859\/7874\/3092\/files\/DreamDancing.jpg?v=1766594987","url":"https:\/\/anzicrecords.com\/products\/dream-dancing","provider":"Anzic Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
