An intimate live trio recording of extraordinary interplay, captured shortly before bassist Scott LaFaro's death. Lyrical and conversational. One of the great piano-trio documents. The album that rewards listeners who go deeper into the catalogue.
On vinyl: First pressings command high prices; a quality reissue will often sound better anyway.
