Marilyn Lerner (piano), Ken Filiano (bass & effects) and Lou Grassi (drums & percussion) extend their trio work after their previous two NoBusiness releases — "Live At Edgefest" and "Arms Spread Wide" — with this album of profound collective improvisation, recorded live in the studio before an audience. The band blends lyrical and abstract work in energetic but never frenetic conversation, eliciting a range of moods as only such familiarity and history can. Asisted with incredible technical and inventive skill, all three show distinct sides to their playing, Lerner heard inside and out of the piano, Filiano using effects to extend his bass, and Grassi taking unusual approaches to his innovative approach to rhythm. Their implicit lyricism find gorgeous moments amidst periods of intense action and exhilaration, a great balance and achievement.
