New Recording – Impressions of Debussy MAY 15
I am very excited about this project, a kaleidoscopic exploration of the composer’s iconic Préludes – both the original scores as played by prize-winning classical pianist Lori Sims and unique “reimaginings” performed by the jazz duo of saxophonist Andrew Rathbun and pianist Jeremy Siskind. “Impressions of Debussy” – produced by Grammy Award-winner Judith Sherman and to be released via CD, download and streaming by Centaur Records on May 15, 2020.

Downbeat Review of Atwood Suites Live
Downbeat Magazine – about our performance last saturday at Guimarães Jazz!
“The festival saved its best for last. Canadian saxophonist and composer Andrew Rathbun brought his 20-piece Large Ensemble to perform 2018’s glorious The Atwood Suites, inspired by and in tribute to writer Margaret Atwood. The full contralto voice of Luciana Souza, who sang on the recording, was the one element missing from this performance—though soprano Aubrey Johnson (who also appeared on the album) stepped in quite ably. With thrilling solos by saxophonist Quinsin Nachoff and guitarist Ricardo Pinheiro, as well as feature work throughout the concert by flugelhornist Tim Hagans, Rathbun and The Atwood Suites were easily the crown jewel of the festival’s final five nights.”
