This ALL-STAR TRIO of OLIVER LAKE, REGGIE WORKMAN and ANDREW CYRILLE appeals to a broad spectrum without watering anything down, mainly because these legendary musicians, all virtuosos on their instruments, have uncanny communication with one another on the bandstand. This communication is maintained with the addition of a new Special Guest artist, pianist GERI ALLEN. Laurence Donohue-Greene, Editor of AllAboutJazz-New York, named Trio 3's gig with Geri at Birdland the Live Performance of 2008. AAJ also gave honorable mention for CD of the Year to their newest CD Wha's Nine? With or without Geri, if you want a group that pushes the envelope without breaking it, give me a call.
