Kenny Barron, one of those talented pianists who always seems to be underrated, breaks away from playing standards and conventional bebop on this frequently exciting trio date. Matched up with bassist
Dave Holland and drummer
Daniel Humair, Barron explores five of his originals and
Carmen Lundy's "Quiet Times." The fresh material and close interplay between the musicians make this set one of
Barron's best trio recordings to date. ~ Scott Yanow
