Quinsin Nachoff: Quinsin Nachoff’s Ethereal Trio

Thick toned tenor saxist Quinsin Nachoff forms a supple trio with Mark Helias/b and Dan Weiss/dr to create an album of six sleek and spacious originals. Nachoff relies on his rich sound to glide along the pulses created by his teammates on pieces like the flowing “Clairvoyant Test” Helias is in strong form in his role here, creating a hip line while Weiss snaps along on the bluesy “Push-Pull Topology” and bows along to the leader’s soft long tones on the misty “Gravitas.” The team is able to create a deep groove, as they dig in well on “Subliminal Circularity” and is nimble on the undulating “Imagination Reconstruction.” The team breathes easy here.
