“Reimagining these tunes with a fresh kind of intimacy and edge…
a living, breathing, adventurous trio session that balances reverence
with reinvention” – JazzViews
What super charges this trio’s performances is each musician’s ability to listen, respond, and make music together. Pianist/keyboardist Gluck brings his gift at balancing improvisational freedom with attention to musical structure, while bassist Christopher Dean Sullivan’s deep, resonant bass sound provides a solid foundation while crafting intricate, melodic bass lines. Karl Latham is a drummer’s drummer, rhythmically complex, precise, and creative. Latham’s approach is dynamic and responsive, employing a diverse sound pallet to shapeshift and respond to changing musical moods and levels of intensity.
