Each musician on the record represents a different aspect of the axis of time and its shifting sands. My father and Charles Lloyd, who has been a mentor figure to me, reflect new permutations of my past, and the lineage of elders who have shaped my development; Justin Brown, being my contemporary and musical brother, represents my present; and MARO represents the future — she is part of the next generation, and points to a brand new collaboration.—Gerald Clayton - describing his second album Bells On Sand
