This recording was made upon the culmination of a combined US
and European tour lasting about a month. ... It's been a
pleasure bringing our music to points far and wide and we look
forward to continuing that process. Maybe we'll meet you at a
future concert, if so, please say hello ... Ellery Eskelin
Baltimore native Ellery Eskelin continues to impress with this
fourth recording by a trio that has created an important niche
in the world of free jazz. Here, the group focuses on five
offbeat standards of sorts: John McLaughlin's "The Dance of
Maya," Lennie Tristano's "April," John Coltrane's "India,"
Charlie Haden's "Song for Ché," and George Gershwin's "Prelude
II"). There are also two originals by the leader. Eskelin's
roots run deep, and he knows how to swing hard with his
soulful horn as well as take it "outside." Drummer Jim Black
and accordionist Andrea Parkins are brilliant not only in
their synergy, but also in their ability to blast boundaries.
Their abilities to stay true to the music of others while
deconstructing and reformulating a new synthesis make this
recording more accessible though no less innovative than
the trio's other excellent issues. The two pieces by Eskelin
emanate their own peculiar, if perverse, charms.
