Sublime guitar trio date recorded in May 2013, led by Austrian guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel. Bookended by tributes to two formative influences, Joseph (Zawinul) and Bossa For Michael Brecker, all the material is Muthspiel's other than the group-composed title track. It's a highly enjoyable and varied set of eight tracks in a trim 41 minutes, often prioritising texture and ambience. Dazzling runs of notes share the space with plenty of breathing room, Larry Grenadier undepins it with both rock solid basslines and melancholy bowing, and Brian Blade on drums keeps structure and momentum to this great set of impressionistic pieces.
