On this striking new CD, Joe Morris wields his guitar with deliberate restraint, building deep layers that breathe around Brad Barrett’s cello—its bowed lines resonating with both plaintive lyricism and edgy percussive accents. Beth Ann Jones anchors the trio with a sculptural bass, her tone rich and propulsive, providing an essential counterpoint to Morris’explorations. Across the set of freely unfolding pieces, the trio navigates an expansive sound world: from interlocking density to almost orchestral surges. It’s a beautifully measured session—each player deep-listening, unfolding subtle dialogues, and seamlessly shifting between spacious intimacy and taut collective momentum. An immersive statement from three gifted improvisers in powerful synergy.
