This is our second album as a trio, and once again it has been a great pleasure to play and record together.

After much independent thought about what might happen when we get together, we arrive at the studio with some sketches and a small list of pieces. In the true spirit of improvisation we begin to play.

Reviews

This is the second release by cellist Imogen Manins, pianist Tony Gould and percussionist David Jones as a trio…this album is every bit as impressive as their first; which suggests there's some very special chemistry between them…When all three musicians are exploring as a group, there is an unmistakeable magic about it. ★★★★
