"Today the native San Franciscoan Don Robertson is an improbable 60 year-old multi-instrumentalist and new age composer, but back in 1969 when this album was released on Limelight (a subsidiary of Mercury) he was the obscure and uncontested master of 'eastern psychedelia'. In the mid-sixties, like many of his peers, Robertson began experimenting with non-western music, which led him to record the extraordinary Dawn in 1969. Here, in addition to piano, Robertson plays guitar, harp and various traditional instruments, such as the tablas and the jaltarang. The result is a surprising and engaging mix of eastern-influenced jazz, psych rock, and classical music. Gatefold sleeve with biography and archival photos provided by Don Robertson himself."
