Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"A second album of the Malaby/Sanchezainey trio, highly anticipated, more than 15 years after their first one"-Rogueart

"There's no leading, no following. We're in the moment together. They even know when I'm going to take a breath - I can feel it." Tony Malaby

"It sounds simple to say, but the three of us have real creative chemistry together. Chemistry is the difference between just a group of good musicians playing in a room and something magical happening." Tom Rainey

"The longevity of it means something - there's so much life and love in this group. As for the music, it's about the joy of surprise. For some people, the unexpected can make them uncomfortable - for us, it's inspiring." Angelica Sanchez
