This album is the result of a suddenly booked recording session in Brooklyn while bassist Kamaguchi was temporarily in town and playing with the New York-resident pianist and drummer. Their live performance inspired a producer to arrange a trio recording while the opportunity was available.</p> <figure><a href="L1250013x-1200.jpeg"> <img loading="lazy" src="L1250013x-1200.jpeg"/> </a> </figure> <p>Open and experimental, the music on the album is 66 minutes of improvisation. The songs are a loosely-structured dialogue between the three members as they play freely using prompts and suggestions to one another, responding in the moment to what they are hearing from others and imagining within themselves.</p>
