"The drummer's trademark fluidity in his approach to time and pulse would be enough to ensure that in itself, and the combination of instruments serves to underline the airy, abstract feel of much of the music. The ear quickly adjusts to the lack of a solid grounding instrument, and their interplay is never less than fascinating, whether applied on standards or original material. At times the effect is almost one of triple counterpoint, with everyone playing simultaneous melody. Lovano's romanticism both contrasts and complements Frisell's spacey, unconventional guitar work, while Motian weaves around and beneath both players, wrapping the music in a lattice of strong but delicate percussion."

"Some music has so much poise it simply radiates. Even in the most turbulent moments of the many discs that Paul Motian's trio has made, there's a signature glow that lets you know grace is fuelling the creativity at hand. ... Whether interpreting Broadway or respinning Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans, their eccentric version of swing and sophisticated notion of interplay were based on a supple geometry that let each member have a say in the equation. The Motian-penned miniatures on the new disc are even more refined. A well-rounded symmetry gives this intricate music a blithe feel, and when matched with some of the eerie and reflective melodies, it creates a form of dreamy abstraction that's unparalleled on the modern jazz scene."
