REVIEWS:

Trio album from caustic-toned alto saxophonist Patrick Brennan, which derives much of its energy from the balance between the leader's sorties and bassist Rachiim Ausar-Sahu's well-weighted backing. What's striking about the album is how 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. Brennan's got a bunch of compositions that blend quirkiness and discipline, and a very distinct style of his own.
