Salamon ...

Jerome Sabbagh / Ben Monder / Daniel Humair: I Will Follow You
by Mark Corroto
How do you cook up innovative and inspiring jazz these days? Take a standard quintet and peel away the bassist (time keeper), then eliminate the pianist or chordal steward, and you are left with maybe the purest form of improvisation and interaction: the jazz trio.
