Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reuniting almost thirty years after their groundbreaking early-1960s sessions, the trio effortlessly rekindles their highly intuitive, conversational improvisational dynamic. The stark, drummerless chamber jazz setting allows for an exquisite exploration of space, subtlety, and avant-garde interplay.
