"You know vocalist Jackie Allen, or you certainly should, given her track record of 11 uniformly exceptional albums over three decades. Hans Sturm, Allen's husband, is likely a less familiar name, though the bassist and producer has been the essential yang to her yin for much of her career. Rose Fingered Dawn, yet another triumph for Allen, deservedly brings Sturm more fully into the mix, again as bandmate and producer, but also as writer of all 10 tracks, most drawing on his and Allen's shared life experiences".
