There's
little more to say about this album other than to recommend it very
highly. This is a lovely album. Brennan's an abstract expressionist
with chops. He's utterly coherent in his free associative improvisations,
and he imbues his music with a great deal of timbral and rhythmic
variety. His compositions are fresh and quite original.
Patrick Brennan's
a first class saxophonist and composer, and his trio is one of the
most interesting I've heard in some time.

What's
striking about the album is how tight it is, with a stop-start writing
style that pushes it along from fragment to clearly defined fragment.
All this without losing improvisatory grace.
