Dream of Life CD

$20.00

This latest recording from Emma Pask offers you expressions of joy, love, loss, hope, freedom and unity. All delivered through a collection of beautifully arranged jazz standards, a Beatles classic, an Adele pop hit, with some high energy Brazilian magic.

Prior to Covid, Emma toured extensively throughout Australia each year, with the inclusion of some exciting performances abroad. With that opportunity to play live so often, there comes a unique rapport, a connection and energy that builds within a band. “The repertoire has a chance to settle in, and find a place where it all feels so good. That’s the time I like to head into the studio,” says Emma.

Sonically this recording is live, raw, real, and up close, sounding and feeling as though you are right there in the room.
