A composition by Ron Bridgewater, dedicated to his daughter, Aneesah. 
 
Ron Bridgewater began his professional career in 1972 with a State Department tour of Japan, Europe, the Soviet Union, and the United States in the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra. After three years with the band and several recordings, Mr. Bridgewater appeared as a regular member of ensembles led by jazz greats Max Roach, McCoy Tyner and Horace Silver. Along with his brother, trumpeter Cecil Bridgewater, Ron led a group known as the Bridgewater Brothers which recorded two albums and toured the United States and Japan. He also toured with Cotton Club legend Cab Calloway.
 
First featured on Michael Carvin's "Between You and Me" (1988, Muse), it was later included on Cecil Bridgewater's album "I Love Your Smile" (1992, Mesa Blue Moon) with vocals by Vanessa Rubin.
 
"Warmly crafted, and filled with soul and imagination (Dusty Grooves)," "Never Too Young to Dream" is an uplifting addition to any repertoire.
