From Daggerboard and Erik Jekabson come: THE AXES. The third of a series of four concerts. Winter Solstice The Hillside Club Berkeley Ca

The Axes Volume IV: Winter Solstice documents the fourth installment in The Axes, an ambitious concert series created by Daggerboard and the Erik Jekabson Orchestra. Recorded at Berkeley's historic Hillside Club on December 18, 2025, the performance captures original compositions written to celebrate the spirit and atmosphere of the winter solstice. Beginning with minimalist motifs that gradually evolve into expansive orchestral works, the music reflects the seasonal themes of reflection, renewal, and celebration.

This LP presents both the live performance and material developed during rehearsals, showcasing eight original compositions alongside inspired reinterpretations that blend jazz, modern composition, and orchestral improvisation into a richly textured listening experience.
