Sparkle and explosive indeed! Of course, it doesn't hurt that Jeff Hamilton is one of my favorite pivotal drummers for the jazz idiom. The group has been together for awhile and man, it shows!! Their symbiosis and control is something to be reckoned with. You have to appreciate this project as a true work of artistry between three musicians possessing uncanny instinctive musicality. Add to that their precise rhythmic articulation and voila... JAZZ ART in musical clothing. In music as in nature, there are hills and vales. These three masters are artists of genius who raise their art to such heights that we are able to breathe in their craft to a musical altitude and groove on it.. and then descend again to a more temperate harmonic-melodic level... .Until the eruption of some combined group genius idea heaves us up to a new mountain peak as it were. Drama, expression, style, influence, and jubilation is my summation for this formidable jazz trio. Live on gentlemen.
