Dusk 01:08
The moonlight shines through, and brings me a new vision of memories soft and clear, but not still here; I find I'll think of you.
2.
Night & Day 03:30
Night and day, you are the one. Only you, 'neath the moon or under the sun. Whether near to me or far, it's no matter, darling, where you are; I think you of you, day and night. Night and day, why is it so? That this longing for you follows wherever I go? In the roaring traffic's boom, in the silence of my lonely road; I think of you, day and night. Night and day, under the height of me, there's an oh, such a hungry, yearning burning inside of me. And its torment won't be through, till you let me make sweet love to you, day and night, night and day.
3.
Night on the town, we'll stroll around. The music plays, we're in a daze of the wondrous feelings that we felt some time before, but now we're sure. Love is new when we're by candlelight. Lights all aglow, still my heart grows. Your stylish charm sounds the alarms. Cause, I can't wait for the moment I am next to you, just us two, making love when we're by candlelight.
4.
My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine, you make me smile with my heart. Your looks are laughable, unphotographable, and yet, you're my favorite work of art. Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak, are you smart? But, don't change a hair for me. Not if you care for me. Stay little valentine, oh, stay. Each day is Valentine's Day.
5.
Late this night, she waits alone; she tries to accept the truth. The pain is intense, her heart is so sore and bruised. Wishing that the sadness had not come for its claim so soon. One life is so short, so many things left to say. Crying softly for the one who cannot return, through the rain she sees a face. He's laughing in happy play, the face of a child, the child on a sunny day.
6.
In the wee small hours of the morning, while the whole wide world is fast asleep. You lie awake and think about the girl and never, ever dream of counting sheep. When your lonely heart has learned its lesson, you'd be her's, if only she would call. In the wee small hours of the morning, that's the time you miss her most of all.
7.
Cherokee 02:24
Sweet indian maiden, since first I met you, I can't forget you, Cherokee sweetheart. Child of the prairie, your love keeps calling, my arms enthralling, Cherokee. Dreams of summertime, of lover-time, gone by, throng my memory so tenderly and sigh, oh. Sweet indian maiden, one day I'll hold you, my arms enfold you, Cherokee.
8.
Dawn 03:23
Street lamp, night sky. The mist clears from the air, to reveal what I'm leaving in the rearview. It's such a clear view. The evening ends and Dawn is near. The day may seem long, but the night will soon appear. I'm coming back again, just wait and see; I'll come back to you.

about

As opposed to the first album, where the track listing was inspired by the jazz giants I look up to, From Dusk till Dawn focuses more on telling a story, beginning with the reflection of an evening with much to come. As the album progresses, the style and lyricism of each track delves into a series of memories that are honest and relatable. In my search for which tunes to include, my goal was to take individual, pre-existing standards, as well as my own originals, and put them together in a way that makes a meaningful arc.

This album would be only a dream if it were not for a few very special people in my life. To my family, Michael, Melodie, & Zack, my gratitude will never be enough to repay how much love and support you have given me throughout all of my musical endeavors. To Lydia, you continue to inspire me every day in many facets. Much of the passion in the music comes from the very thought of you. To Brian Casey & Ron Ulen, your insight and wealth of knowledge has an immeasurable value and I consistently hear your voice in my ear as I strive to improve. To the wonderful benefactors who made this album happen, your contributions make what I do possible and I cannot think of a greater gift than that. To Altin, Art, Ben, Daniel, Matt, Nathaniel, & Ross, you are all world-class musicians and it is an honor to make music alongside you. To David, your arrangements are beautiful and some of my greatest memories are working on these tunes together, crafting something truly special. To Charlie & Nick, your engineering work is out of this world. I am eager to continue our work together in the not-too-distant future.
