Dave Liebman, Adam Nussbaum and Steve Swallow have played together, on and off for over 30 years. They decided to celebrate this by writing 10 originals for this project - the other cut is a Steve Swallow arrangement of Cole Porter's "Get Out Of Town" - where they explored the boundaries of modern jazz composition. Writing for a chord less trio was challenging in its own right but as Dave Liebman puts it: "When you play with musicians of this calibre, there is little difference from playing set pieces to playing free improvisations."
