“The album, featuring eleven original compositions by all three musicians, uses an intriguing concept: bridges from Thelonious Monk’s compositions as starting points for new work. The idea was born during live performances in 2022, with the musicians blending their individual styles to create something that feels fresh yet rooted in Jazz tradition. Tracks like In Walked and Self Evident reflect this Monk-inspired approach, while others, like Amendola’s Lions Heart series, showcase the trio's deep, intuitive interplay. Recorded at Gung-Ho Studio in Oregon, Here to There reflects not only the trio's technical skill but also their close musical bond, developed over decades of collaboration in various configurations. The result is a nuanced and dynamic album, balancing structure with freedom, all grounded in the musicians' shared history and creative synergy.” – JAZZ SKETCHES

"★★★★ – Abstracting with virtuosity and dexterity, the trio creates refined avant-garde jazz artworks within a musical universe that feels entirely their own." – JAZZ TRAIL

“The trio's constraints are their liberation…Goldberg's clarinet prowls around "In Walked" over insistent bass, scattering Monk fragments with Amendola's pulse incorporating some muggy, weathered electronics. The trio elongates "Self Evident" as if examining each grain and granule of its corpus. "Interospection" opens with a solo clarinet reshaped with electronics and compelled to follow the march of Sickafoose's bass.” – ALL ABOUT JAZZ
