Bassist Gary Peacock pulled together this reunion of a classic edition of the
Paul Bley Trio. They've played together in duos over the years, but this -
rather astonishingly - is the first time that Bley, Peacock and Motian have
recorded as a trio in 35 years.This was a history-making group,
free and yet intensely melodic; it has lost none of its persuasiveness. Highlights
include Bley's depth-sounding explorations of the bottom end of the Bösendorfer
piano on "Not Zero", a reworking of "Fig Foot" from the trio's original 60s repertoire,
a stunning Peacock solo on "Entelechy", and much spirited spontaneous interaction.
