Rick Zelinsky plays four saxophones in an "out-of-this-world" jazz exploration using new electronic effects and mixing Alaska nature sounds (by Lucy Peckham). A sonic journey with sounds you've never heard and will never hear again. Rick dedicates this album to the Rasmuson Foundation and is grateful for being selected as an 2018 Rasmuson Artist
