Pianist/composer Christian Sands' new album, Embracing Dawn, serves as a cinematic narration of healing and triumph, reflecting Sands' personal experience while offering a guide for anyone who has experienced loss of any kind.

The album explores musical styles as varied as neo- and alternative soul, mid tempo swing, funky gospel, ballads, acoustic jazz-rock, and trap-style beats, and features collaborations with bassist Yasushi Nakamura, drummer Ryan Sands, guitarist Marvin Sewell, vibraphonist Warren Wolf, and harmonica player Grégoire Maret.

Embracing Dawn unfolds as a masterful example of musical storytelling, with each track representing a chapter in Sands' journey of recovery and acceptance.
