Title: Breathtaking Interplay
Review: This is an album of three incredible musicians at the height of their powers in a live setting. Lane's playing is almost beyond description. From clean comping to incendiary hyper-speed runs, Lane covers it all with conviction, emotion and breathtaking virtuosity. Hellborg's bass sound warm but packs plenty of punch as well. Hellborg is an amazing bassist who has a certain style that is very endearing. Sipe's drumming is solid without gettng too busy, which is helpful when you've got Lane and Hellborg going nuts in certain spots. There are plenty of dynamics and lovely melodic interludes along with the fiery playing. For fans of power trio interplay along the lines of classic Cream, Hendrix Experience, etc. this is as good as it gets. This defines the state-of-the-art for power trio improvisation. Nuff said!
