Saxophonist Oliver Lake, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Andrew Cyrille return as Trio 3, 11 years after their last trio album, 2006’s Time Being. The intervening years have seen the three musicians work powerfully with some serious guest pianists, notably Geri Allen, Irène Schweizer, Vijay Iyer and Jason Moran. But there’s a specific character to their trilateral rapport which finds full expression on Visiting Texture, consisting of original songs with one Ornette Coleman cover. The history among the trio members stretches back several decades, rooted in an ideal of collectivity and intuition: their motto has long been “a group where music is the leader.”
“Improvisation to a large degree is always having an element of surprise. Even if we’re playing something that’s arranged, we want to spark it so that there’s always a certain magic happening as the music is being developed.”
– Andrew Cyrille
