Dayna Stephens, one of the most interesting saxophonists of his generation, stars on A Week Ago Today, together with bandmates André Sumelius, George Kontrafouris and Teemu Viinikainen.Drummer and producer André Sumelius, who befriended Stephens while doing concerts and recordings together in San Francisco and, later on, NYC, and wanted to bring Dayna to Finland to record, envisioned the project from the start. Dayna Stephens' melodic compositions make up the majority of the album's music, but a few of Sumelius' compositions and one from Kontrafouris round out the production.
