Clarinet-led trio. Mostly upbeat tunes in a mainstream jazz vein, with touches of a New Orleans sound on the chipper tunes. No chord instruments for a relatively sparse and open sound. This also makes it seem like a "calm" session, even though the tempos are upbeat and the energy level gets pretty high.

1- Serious modal jazz feel; nice minor-key
2- Twining mystical clarinet over fast bass/drums. Slow start.
3- Playful, light, pulsing
4- Sly and even funky, a bit of soul jazz
5- Happy trad-jazz groove w/fast walking bass and strong drums.
6- Slow mystic start, into a midlevel jam
7- Catchy bass riff for mid/fast clarinet dance. Slow start.
8- Midtempo sauntering tune
9- Carefree, swingy tune
10- Dextrous fast bass, happy jig w/overblowing later
11- Fairly fast
12- Catchy, upbeat tune.
