The members of the trio often went in three directions but always returned to a strong mutual musical plan to regroup and focus on melodic expansion. Frisell was the inspiration for the trio's coherence, no matter how disjointed the music seemed at times. What the band created balanced on an edge distinguishing revolutionary from mainstream. This daring spirit spoke from the souls of adventurers fearless in combining the coldly unpredictable with the warmly comforting. The result was beautiful to behold.
