“A kind of hive-mind sound machine” - Rolling Stone
This is the first recording by this trio which includes two of my favorite artists, Kris Davis and Eric McPherson. There’s a unique magnetic charge to this group. The musical possibilities always seem endless, yet there’s ever a focus on the groove. This band is, in a word, nuts. All that chemistry is captured here, on this first recording by the trio.
