Peace is an album by saxophonist Dayna Stephens.
This was Stephens' fifth recording as leader. [1] The other musicians are pianist Brad Mehldau, guitarist Julian Lage, bassist Larry Grenadier, and drummer Eric Harland. [2] The tracks are mostly ballads. [1] The title track "launches with Stephens blowing breathy, Mehldau filling in spaces gingerly, Harland brushing breezily. It stays that way for a good couple of minutes until Mehldau finds an opening; Stephens, not one to spoil the mood, takes the cue and maintains the hush." [2]
The album was released by Sunnyside Records on November 4, 2014. [3]
