Review: Virtuoso bassist, pianist, composer, leader, innovator, talent scout, & storyteller, David Friesen offers another of his many gifts on this disc. Here he performs with two different saxophone trios, both offering relaxed precision & masterful dynamics - fully collaborative musical adventures. The second disc is live.
