One of the true enjoyment in jazz can be the combination of musicians playing together. Here, another great trio whom nobody has imagined - even the players themselves - comes up. Pianist and the leader Don Friedman teams up with bassist John Patitucci and drummer Omar Hakim.

Until the recording date, these three musicians have never played together before, and added to that was the fact that they were meeting for the first time in a recording studio. However, unpredictability became a positive force to them. They only talked over how they would play the beginning and ending of the tunes. The fact that they allowed the music to develop in a natural unrehearsed way made the performance really spontaneous. Check with your ears how these musicians of such high caliber sounds together.
