Pianist Nick Sanders leads a trio of Henry Fraser/b and Connor Baker/dr through a Baker’s Dozen originals. Sanders has a classical sound to his touch, lyrical yet complex as he focuses on teamwork on pieces such as “Live Normal” and the nourish soft “Prepared for the Blues.” Baker does some nice riding of the cymbal for the bopping “Playtime” and caresses the metal for the intimate “Manic Manic.” The team gets into a herky jerky groove for the rumbling “Endless” and creates sharp angles on “Hungry Ghost.” Sanders shows some Satie spaciousness on ”Interlude for S.L.B.” and is rich on his closing aria “#2 Longfellow Park.” Impressive and modern with a foot in the tradition.
