The threesome of Dustin Laurenzi/ts, Katie Ernst/b and Andrew Green/dr depart from the usual tenor trio format on this collection of in studio “live” recordings by adding the clever notion of having bassist Ernst add harmonic vocals into the mix. The added texturegives a kind of “indie” feel to the tunes such as the mellow post bopper “Nine”, the kind of rockish “Seconds” and the reflective “Tricks” that has Ernst’s bass open things up. Laurenzi keeps things interesting by his clever fluffy sound almost appearing as if the recording were played backwards, accenting intriguingly on the cirrus “Ulerian” while sighing over Green’s chicka boomed “Always Left” and veering around the herky herky “Keep It Heated”. Creative concepts.
