A landmark album that brought the acoustic piano trio to a new, younger audience. 'These Are the Vistas' is famous for its high-energy, deconstructed covers of rock songs by artists like Nirvana, Aphex Twin, and Blondie, played with the volume and intensity of a rock band. The trio's incredible musicianship and their ability to find new improvisational possibilities in familiar pop material made them a sensation and redefined what a modern piano trio could be.
