LINER NOTES with David Bixler featuring John Yao

Ten years after his release Flip-Flop,
John Yao returns with Points of
Time, a new recording that showcases his significant
growth as both a composer and improviser. The album draws
inspiration from deeply personal experiences, specifically his
wife's battle with cancer and the subsequent birth of their son
after her recovery.


Yao has brought together an exceptional group of some of New York
City's top musicians, who not only perform his intricate
compositions flawlessly but also contribute highly individualized
and compelling solos to the project.
