The trio explores Johnson’s more traditional jazz compositions inspired by innovators Charles Mingus, Mal Waldron, and Thelonious Monk, while always featuring Johnson’s unique energetic and chaotic soundworld.

“Multi-faceted bassist Max Johnson helms a terrific trio… Here and elsewhere, evidence of Johnson’s composer’s ear surfaces in how cannily he extracts maximum impact from the three voices.” – John Sharpe, The New York City Jazz Record
