While they're quite proud of their first album and the critical reaction to it-- "a 21st century version of fire music," "one of the best jazz releases I've heard this year," "a vivid and imaginative masterpiece that showcases a band at the height of its powers"-- the trio feels this next album is a major step forward. The three years between the two have made them a tighter, more focused ensemble, with added depth and adventurousness.
Highlights include the interplay between Lacy and guest artist Roswell Rudd on Rudd's classic composition "Yankee No-How," the contrasts on "RB," ranging from soft delicacy to face melting fury, and the intensity and cooperation on "Living Space," along with engineer Bernie Matthews's brilliant double-tracked effect.
