aubade

A 62-year-old Air Force veteran who learned the Massachusett language only as an adult, Jamieson asked his mentor, Donald Three Bears Fisher, to approve the lyrics for “Daybreak,” the album’s first single and an ecstatic aubade with pounding drums.

But this dalliance with aubade was short-lived, after which Tower and Weilerstein hit the ground running.

In May, he proposed to his longtime girlfriend and tour manager, Ally Dale, so he celebrates finding love during the tender aubade “In the Morning Light.”

One of the best, “Aubade East,” is set in Harlem.

But don’t mistake any old aubade for all-purpose morning music.
