This is music as a healing force, following Gandhi’s extraordinary life in a suite of eight pieces. In Sterman’s music, traces of classic American song, contemporary composition, free jazz, world music and many other influences come together to create a unique and deeply moving whole. performed with a huge variety of major artists from Frank Sinatra, Philip Glass, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, Aretha Franklin, and of course is well known for his work in the Philip Glass Ensemble.
