Seattle-based saxophonist Peter Daniel makes a striking solo debut with “Come Back Together,” a standout single from his album "Quartets". Rich in emotion, groove, and atmospheric depth, this track powerfully represents Daniel’s vision of blending instrumental storytelling with cinematic flair, and he achieves this beautifully.
“Come Back Together” opens with an inviting pulse, a groove that gently unfolds as Daniel’s saxophone takes center stage. His tone is instantly soulful and haunting, evoking a sense of longing and hope, and creating a sonic landscape that feels both intimate and expansive. This is immersive, intentional, and deeply human.
Supported by a rotating cast of the Pacific Northwest’s most expressive rhythm players, Daniel’s performance is both commanding and collaborative. He builds a mood that breathes, giving the saxophone space to ache, sing, and ultimately guide listeners through a journey of reconnection and reflection.
The texture and arrangement of “Come Back Together” create the ability to stir emotions. A narrative is present here, even without a single word spoken, which is a hallmark of great instrumental music. With “Come Back Together,” Peter Daniel invites listeners into his world, one that reflects the richness of Seattle’s jazz and groove scene while transcending genre to achieve pure expression.
