Gravity Without Airs

A trio of equals, all three supreme melodists with endless, seamless vocabulary. There is quiet tonal beauty here, but when he really lets loose, Kirk Knuffke is the most arresting, ecstatic cornet player on the planet. This is a majestic record. Steven Miller

Amazing album! Such high energy avant guard jazz. Great interplay between the musicians and Mette’s solo in the beginning of track 2 is mind blowing. So many different sounds. Really great. torzano
