ôIt is said that time and tide wait for no man. Time, however,
has waited for this piano trio. The group's first recording,
The Street One Year After, was released in 1991. Since then
they have released two more, both in the last decade. As for
the tide, it still roars in their favor. The brand new music on
Free For 3 feels electrifying, emerging from the heartland of
musicians who have an apparent affinity with each other. It is
no secret that despite the sporadic trips to the studio, they
have been playing concerts together. This, perhaps more than
anything else, continues to make them a cohesive force. Freedom
is the essence of its expression, but in seeking it the trio
does not always desert melody. These players build and expand
and often mould an inventive concept out of disparate strands.
Pianist Giorgio Occhipinti leads the charge on the first tune,
building his story through a scurrying welter of notes that
gather momentum, and then, as bass and drums stir the action,
explode in euphoric frenzy." - Jerry D'Souza, allaboutjazz.com
...by the final track, the percussionist has finessed a
powerful climax, building up the tension with hearty swats on
the crash cymbal and bass drum and exhibiting sounds that
appear to be exploding from a cannon. Throughout, the pianist
can go from a Morse code of extended single note pressure to
swift insect-like arpeggios in a flash, the drummer can
elasticize time with feather light brush work or extend it with
accented cymbal splashes. All the while, the bassist come up
with perfectly proportioned bass lines to fit each particular
situation. Should more bands like this extending piano trio
literature, it could end up lasting as many centuries as the
Siciliana and the Ballata.ö - Ken Waxman, Jazzreview.com
