| I wondered for a
brief moment whether the title referenced the Trinity, but suspect that
this music comes from a different place. There’s a dark, almost Hebraic
quality to the bassist’s writing and the trio, far from being
invisible, is strongly foregrounded at all times. This is a challenging
format, though Johnson’s bowed figures and strong, throbbing solos make
up for the lack of a harmony instrument. The Pretzel is a nicely salty,
twisted line that gets the three voices working together. The title
track is a mournful-sounding horn chorale over singing bass harmonics.
Moving Vehicle is light, mobile bop and sparks a great solo from Ravitz. |
