This is an intriguing set, featuring the combination of drummer
Andrew Cyrille, flutist
James Newton and bassist
Lisle Atkinson, a different kind of power trio. The music ranges from fairly free flights to "Inch Worm" (arranged by
Sheila Jordan) and two versions of "A Tribute to Bu" (for
Art Blakey). Due to the variety of the material (mostly originals) and the consistent brilliance of
Newton, this CD is recommended to fans of advanced jazz. ~ Scott Yanow
