Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capitalizing on their respective victories in major jazz magazine reader polls, three absolute masters of their instruments convene for an incredibly relaxed, highly interactive trio session. Lacking a piano or horn, the exposed format highlights the impeccable swing, deep harmonic understanding, and subtle rhythmic interplay of the elite rhythm section. The highly successful project spawned a long-running series of similarly brilliant, ego-free collaborations.
