We
hope that listeners will hear in the music recorded here that
it is
the spontaneous gesture made within a context of close interactive
listening, i.e. the improvisational chamber-jazz approach, that
this trio
most values. But most importantly, we hope that our listeners
will
enjoy the results of this first meeting.

Sometimes
tunes re-emerge from earlier years in a musician's imagination,
reasserting themselves into the present scene, bringing both
resonances from the past and a renewed vitality for the present.
And sometimes new pieces emerge from a musician's imagination
that, despite their newness, nevertheless seem to connect to
the style, the musical language, or the mood of earlier half-forgotten,
half-remembered tunes. Both kinds are offered in this new set
from the Atlantic Jazz Trio, and we offer them in the hope that
both our old and new friends will find in them moments of enjoyment.

With two studio albums and a number of tours behind them, this trio of award-winning musicians took the chance to do a live recording.
As all players and listeners know, performing music live is playing
‘without a net’ – one cannot stop a take, one cannot rewind.
Because of that fact, as players and listeners also know, there is
a special atmosphere of excitement, a special intensity, when
recording improvised music live; it is music in and of its moment.
