Born from the duo of Chicago flutist Nicole Mitchell and French bassist Joelle Leandre ("Sisters Where") and brought together by Myra Melford, this is the 2nd album from their Tiger Trio formation, joining profound skill, unusual creative intent, ferociously authoritative conversation, shrewd wit, and an innate sense of balance to 11 succinct collective improvisations.

"In any case, these are three strong personalities, determined to face "in concert" the dangers of the musical forest. These dangers, it turns out, lie less within the forest itself than in the reactions of the protagonists facing the surprises and traps of the unknown that they have invented. These reactions can only be good. Creative, if you prefer. For these ladies, also known as Nicole Melford, Joelle Mitchell, and Myra Leandre-each of their curriculum musicae would extend over several pages of an encyclopedia-have made improvisation a major pillar of their art."- Fancois-Renr Simon, excerpt from the liner notes
