For "Delight," she forms a captivating, tri-generational unit with legendary bassist Buster Williams and the singular drummer Matt Wilson, and creates a soulful, endlessly dynamic recording of mostly original compositions. Torchbearers of the tradition while trailblazers in evocative & surprising sonic explorations, "Delight" describes not just their gathering, but also the resultant music created-inspired, original and resplendent. The revelation is Dawn Clement's piano, always ready with the lyricism or structure the moment needs. - DownBeat"In all this world of jazz, there are very few individual voices, no matter what the instrument, but Dawn has come up with a voice that's unique..." - Julian Priester
