"Cat's Dream" is the third album from guitarist/composer Rafal Sarnecki, born and raised in Warsaw, Poland, and now based in New York City. The album was recorded in Brooklyn by Michael Perez-Cisneros (known for recording such albums as Kurt Rosenwinkel's "Heartcore"). The mix was done by Dave Darlington at Bass Hit Recording (Darlington is known for mixing such albums as "If On a Winter Night..." by Sting, "Alegria" by Wayne Shorter, for which Darlington received a Grammy Award, and "Gershwin's World" by Herbie Hancock).

I definitely felt very privileged to be able to record with such incredible musicians."

Each composition on "Cat's Dream" represents a different period in Sarnecki's life, and also a different stage of his development as a composer. On the album you can find extended forms ("For Anastazja" or "Plane Crashes and Conspiracy Theories"), typical short form jazz songs ("Ordovician Extinction", "Piazza Verdi"), as well as the first song with lyrics the composer has ever written (the title track, albeit in Spanish, "Sueño de Gatos").
