Guitairst Albare creates rich tones and ideas with his pedals on this trio album with Phil Turcio/b and Phil Rex/dr with thoughts hinting at vintage Pat Metheny. He gets a sitar like tinge to the breezy “Sailing Away” while creating dark brush stokes on the intricate “Missing In Action”. There’s a liquid palpability to his strings as he digs in on Hypthetical Retrospection” and creates rich harmonies with Lionel Cole’s voice on “I Believe”. A take of Blue Bossa” has the band creating a rivulet while a happy Latin Quareter is strolled into on “MAD’s Happy Day”. A travelogue of tones.
