That is because nothing in the performance reveals a leader, nor a dominant signature. For adventurous listeners, isn't that exactly what we want from our improvisors? Let's stick with just Borderlands ...

DE3 (Duane Eubanks, Eric McPherson, Dezron Douglas): Live at Maxwell's
by Stefano Merighi
Il trio DE3 (Eubanks-Douglas-McPherson) è toccato dalla grazia in questa incisione dal vivo al Maxwell's di New York.
