“a supreme case of empathetic music making in which respect doesn't cow either adventure or surprise” - AllAboutJazz
The first recording by this trio with my friends Ingrid Laubrock and Cory Smythe. It’s such a privilege and a joy to work with these two enormously creative and powerful artists, and beautiful human beings, on bringing this music to life. We also have a live album, Channels, recorded at the Unerhört Festival in Zürich, also on Intakt Records.
