Album Review

Reviewed 2003-04-08
Free jazz featuring piano, violin, trumpet. Great soloists here -- Herb Robertson is madly agile on trumpet; Marc Feldman does his trademark melodic slashing on violin. Stevens, on piano, plays the calm anchor role, adding atmospheric splashes as background, and some nice solos himself. The slower tracks are rich and engaging.

1- Slow, w/solo piano intro
2*- Medium-paced free-bop, good stuff
3*- Trumpet/violin duel over crystal piano
4- Slow/mid with fiery soloing
5*- Smoky nighttime trumpet
6- Piano solo, mid/fast, pensive
7- Violin showcase with near-Americana sound 8- Fast; light touch
9- Floaty, scattered
10*- Fast free bop
