This trio has been touring for over 25 years, and their high-flying sound remains a delight. They dedicate this concert to reimaginings of Ellington. These are largely improvised, and it's clear that the trio's long immersion in various expressions of jazz has anchored these pieces deep in their subconscious. A confirmation of how radical and transformative “standards” can be.
