Saxophonist Dayna Stephens has pursued an eclectic artistic path ranging from performances with Terence Blanchard and Gretchen Parlato to Carlos Santana and Stevie Wonder. A thoughtful player, Stephens favors melodic invention over flashy virtuosity and spareness over verbosity, and it shows in his compositions and arrangements. He leads an excellent group of top players with Bay Area roots: Remy LeBoeuf on alto saxophone; Pascal LeBoeuf on piano; Joe Sanders on bass; and Smith Dobson, Jr. on drums. I'll Take My Chances is the name of his fourth and most recent album.
