Title: Equal measure piano/bass/drums stunningly recorded
Product review: Stunningly recorded music of two elder statesmen of the jazz piano trio, complemented by a younger lioness with an immaculate pedigree of association with Mr Anthony Braxton et al. Ms Crispell usually has a percusssive approach to the instrument but here her touch brings out the lyrical side of her mastery, as well as her impeccable control of space. If anything, and even though this a democratic meeting of equals, I have to say Mr Peacock has never sounded so ravishing. There are four tracks devoted to "free" playing and eight "composed" one by Mitchell Weiss called Prayer. The clarity of every instrument on this recording is amazing, the piano sings, the drums are crisp but not dry, and the bass full and clear. There seems to be no barrier between the music and the listener. Musically and technically a very satisfying CD of contemporary improvised chamber music. Likely to remain a friend for a long time.
