Doug Beavers/Michael Zilber Group

More than three decades after first meeting as teacher and student at Los Medanos College in the Bay Area, Grammy-winning trombonist Doug Beavers and acclaimed saxophonist Michael Zilber finally come together as co-leaders on Another Sunrise.

Featuring a stellar New York group — guitarist Paul Bollenback, pianist Mike Holober, bassist Boris Kozlov and drummer Marko Marcinko — Another Sunrise ranges from the odd-meter swing of the title track and Zilber’s reworking of Bud Powell’s “Un Poco Loco” to Beavers’ Stevie Wonder-inspired “Blades,” the rhythmically elusive “Clave Sorrateiro” and the haunting “Lullaby for a Sleepless Night.”

“This record, for us, was more personal,” Beavers says. “It was something we wanted to bring kind of as  brothers, and I think our brotherhood comes out in the music.” Zilber adds: “Everybody was just in service of the music. No egos. The whole spirit was right. We have a lot of common ground and shared history and love — not opposites, but complements.
