"Saxophonist Patrick Zimmerli puts his virtuosic playing on display on Book Of Dreams, a cluster of his original jazz tunes and sensitively arranged Songbook standards." — DownBeat

These tracks were composed by Patrick over a period of nearly 20 years. His primary work is as a composer of larger commissioned projects, and the pieces and arrangements on this album would suddenly come to him, almost fully formed. Perhaps, in the middle of working on an Oratorio, Patrick would awake with a meditative stripped-down arrangement of "Insensatez," or, while composing say a Piano Concerto, the haunting melody of "Algo Mas" would bubble up from the submerged mind.

He started a file to collect these pieces and named it Book of Dreams. Often written very early in the morning, these pieces came without effort — gifts from the unconscious.

Featuring Patrick Zimmerli on soprano and tenor saxophone, Kevin Hays on piano, and Satoshi Takeishi on drums.
