TRIO TIME…Wayne Maureau: At The Water’s Edge

Trinitarian treasures…

Drummer Wayne Maureau leads two trios through a mix of mostly originals with Joe Ashlar-Jordan Baker/p and Bian Ouezergue-Ed Wise/b dividing up the teamwork. The only major difference is that Ouezergue plugs in his bass, digging in to the dark and muscular “A Dayin Paraty” and boogalooing to “The Avenue”. Wise adds bop to the trio, giving a hip intro to “South Lake” and swinging on the festive “Go With The Flow”. The leader himself is confident throughout, as on the calypso’d “Island L ife and the post bopper “Twisting Currents”. Flexible force.
