It occurred to me a while ago that I would like to record in one of my favorite settings, the piano trio. Yet not having a working "band" of my own I toyed with the concept of holding a series of sessions in the same studio with many different pianists and drummers. Some of these musicians I have known for a long time, others a short time. Some I have spent years playing and riding the bus with, others only a couple of gigs. Some live nearby, others were just passing through town that day. All are brilliant. I am thrilled to have them all here with me now on this disc for you to enjoy. Thanks everybody! |

~ Late Show bassist; Will Lee
'Previously known for his electric work with Maynard Ferguson, Chuck Mangione, and Roy Buchanan, Minneapolis-based Gordon Johnson has gravitated toward the upright in recent years. On his solo debut he makes a significant contribution the the piano-trio legacy...'
~ Chris Jisi - BASS PLAYER MAGAZINE
'Bringing in seven different pianists and six drummers for a series of 11 trio performances with bassist Gordy Johnson is an inspired concept, for it enhances the presence of a gently compelling stylist on the most self-effacing instrument in jazz. Johnson sounds both more adventurous and more at ease in the four tunes he plays alongside ex-Weather Report drummer Peter Erskine...'
