Drummer Tina Raymond forms a trio with guitarist Andrew Renfroe and bassist Karl McComas-Reichl through six modern sounding originals. She drives the stallions with a hard snapping whip on the exciting post boppers like “Swainson’s Hawk” and “Seven of Wands” with Renfroe’s soling reminiscent of vintage John Scofield, electric and electrifying. Raymond lays down a cool pulse for the solid “Eight of Wands” and rocks hard with Renfroe in thick textures for “The Emperor”, while her brushes assuage on the soft “ The Lovers”. Impressive interaction.
