Trio 3: At This Time and Berne Concert
by Clifford Allen
30-odd years ago, the lineup of Trio 3--a veritable supergroup--might have seemed surprising. By the mid-'70s, drummer Andrew Cyrille had fed polyrhythmic invention to Cecil Taylor's unit structures and tuned drums for ten years, while bassist Reggie Workman was known for his work with Coltrane and a number of Blue Note artists. Reedman Oliver Lake, who ...
Trio 3 + Geri Allen: At This Time
by Chris May
The publicity surrounding the release of At This Time is making much of the addition of a pianist to Trio 3's saxophone, bass and drums line-up. Arguably, however, the inclusion of a keyboard, played by Geri Allen, isn't the album's most significant feature. True, during the course of the group's 23-year history, most of its work ...
Trio 3 + Irene Schweizer: Berne Concert
by John Sharpe
Almost without anyone noticing, Trio 3 has become one of the great working bands in jazz.

Schweizer / Anderson / Drake: Willisau & Taktlos
by Nic Jones
Pianist Irene Schweizer, tenor saxophonist Fred Anderson and Hamid Drake on drums are individually benign forces of nature, no question about it, and the performances documented here testify to the fact. All three players are deeply alert to the integral values of free playing and they mine the seam so deeply that it seems as though ...

Irene Schweizer: Ramifications
by Clifford Allen
One of the leading exponents of free piano playing in Europe from the late 1960s onward, Swiss-born Irène Schweizer occupied a somewhat lonely place in the high-energy FMP canon as she worked with Peter Kowald, Evan Parker, Manfred Schoof, the Wuppertal reedman Rüdiger Carl and others in European free improvisation's heyday. Renowned as a soloist and ...
