by Neri Pollastri
Poco meno di un'ora di improvvisazione divisa in sei parti, due delle quali molto lunghe, per un trio che non aveva mai suonato assieme prima e che ha una struttura piuttosto singolare, vedendo le ance di Dave Liebman accompagnate da due percussionisti, Adam Rudolph e Hamid Drake.
