about

This recording was made the day before we played The Red Rose concert, released as Double Trio Minus One.

Only rarely this writer has appreciated such a refined demonstration of insightful drumming like the one Moholo-Moholo gifts us with here, holding the horses at all times but still able to etch the trio’s overall image with the incisiveness typical of a master instrumentalists - Massimo Ricci

The bassist's oomph alternates between manhandled clusters and bowed filigree. Gjerstad's meaty, wide vibrato leaps and swaggers, buoyed by the drummer's press rolls and here-and-gone swells of action. In a sense, the music might seem sparse, but the constant and telepathic activity between Gjerstad, Stephens and Moholo-Moholo makes for an environment of concentrated tension and occasional exuberant release—
Clifford Allen, All About Jazz
