As part of the year-long celebration of Nonesuch Records' 60th anniversary, composer and guitarist Yasmin Williams joins the Nonesuch Selects video series, in which artists stop by the Nonesuch office, pick some of their favorite albums from the music library, and share a few words on their choices. Williams stopped by and chose recordings by Makaya McCraven, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Tigran Hamasyan, Ambrose Akinmusire, and Sam Amidon.

The video for composer and guitarist Yasmin Williams' “Dawning,” featuring Aoife O’Donovan on vocals, Kafari on rhythm bones, and Nic Gareiss’ percussive dancing. Williams says: “‘Dawning’ has multiple meanings for me: the dawning of my professional music career and a new love in my personal life, the dawning sky that appeared when I first started writing this song, and me smiling to myself with dawning recognition that I get to create music that I love for a living and share it with the world. This song represents a major shift in how I approach my music and expands the possibilities of what my songs can be.” Video directed by Jonathan Howard.
