**** “The arrangements [are] as full as an orchestra twice this one’s size…individuals excite, even astonish…Over nine glorious tracks, everyone gets to shine. Live at the Jazz Gallery is a strong contender for 2007’s TOP-10 lists.” - Michael J. West, DownBeat Magazine
Its 1st release in a decade, PNME releases 2 commissions from its 30th Season. Kieren MacMillan's "Drunken Moon" and Thomas Albert's "Night Music" is a haunting series of nocturnal scenes, ranging from the extremes of the arctic night to a nightmare of the mythical demon Incubus.

Commissioned by St. Domenic's Church in San Francisco, Dmitri Matheny's monumental sacred work for chorus, organ, percussion, brass quintet, jazz ensemble and gospel soloist received its world premiere at midnight on the dawn of the new millennium.
