The multigenerational trio is back with new music that takes us deep into the
night where intricate textures and melodic stories create an imaginative and
enigmatic space.

Quotes:
"This trio is perfect. … painful stories that go straight to the heart and soul. …
This concert will be remembered for a long time!”

“… The trio coalesces around (Zeuthen’s) lines, which roam freely but remain
deeply engaged with the action around him. As the record unfolds, Zeuthen
injects some Balkan-style melody, as well as Ayleresque intensity, turning up
the vibrato, while the other musicians powerfully prod and respond.”
