Josh Paris, bass Jeff Davis, drums Landon Knoblock, piano

“[Knoblock’s] touch, both at the keyboard and in his sense of structure, is graceful and easy but it takes real work to achieve this kind of mastery. This is yet another example of the continuing marvels of the piano trio at its finest.” -- Donald Elfman, All About Jazz

“ . . . three musicians who concentrate on the most essential musical elements, intent and inspired in the creation of a modern music, carefully crafted and direct, and with impressive interplay.” -- Fabio Ciminiera, jazz-convention.net
