Synopsis

Product Description
Jim Hobbs, alto sax

Mary Halvorson, guitar

Taylor Ho Bynum, cornet, various brass


Three contemporary masters of their respective instruments get to show off their stuff. Hobbs and Bynum play
off each other perfectly, a comfort born of work together for 10 years in Hobb's Fully Celebrated Orchestra, where their playing has been likened to Ornette and Cherry, and in Bynum's sextet.


On Hobb's memorable tunes, there's some tight ensemble playing for the trio, and some surprising Americana
elements-particularly on Over Yonder. On As The Crow Flies, each player gets the spotlight for an unaccompanied solo that they make the most of.



The group improv takes the prerequisite unexpected turns, with extended technique for guitar, alto sax and
trumpet put to frequent use. Not only a power trio but also revealing a wide range of nuances and influences,
this music is indeed about the sound of surprise.
