 A piano that caresses your soul in a succession of notes whose fit is a perfect geometry, a mathematics of emotions sustained by a rhythm section where the late Paul Motian plays with cymbals and drums to remind us that a drummer is not just a "rhythm bearer" but a chiseler who embellishes, invents, and surprises, the perfect interlocutor for an elegant and pulsating double bass that acts as a bridge between rhythm and improvisation.
