Henning Sieverts draws on the immense possibilities of the systematic and masterfully exploits these possibilities. With his ear attuned to continual change, Sieverts has made subtle use of symmetric material in the pieces on this CD. The music grooves, twitters, warbles, frazzles, and dazzles, absorbing and impulsive as only the most vibrantly-played jazz can be.

Jürgen Friedrich, John Hébert, and Tony Moreno are exponents of the highest art of the piano trio. They are a masterful trio who play music swirling with intensely vivid, luminous colours. Refinement and immediacy: seldom does one find this combination in such consummate harmony and at the same time with such a subtle complexity.

BILL CARROTHERS · HOME ROW
|
|
Incredibly cohesive trio play, improvisation with an earthy, bluesy vehemence. A contemplative jazz piano trio masterpiece, with a pensive lyricism searching for the peace within. There is a like-minded aesthetic that underlies the music's gripping sensuality and sense of the unusual. Carrothers' deep sense of lyricism and the special nuances in the slower pieces are an essential part of this recording.
