Borderlands Trio

Combining three of the most creative musicians on the current New York jazz scene, Borderlands Trio improvises without fear of the space or of pursuing melodies and structures without a safety net. In long pieces where the ideas are given time to develop slowly, repeated opportunities for enormously beautiful and profoundly intimate scenarios arise. Wandersphere, their latest album, is another conclusive demonstration that the classic piano trio in the hands of Stephan Crump, Kris Davis and Eric McPherson is not restrictive but rather a world of huge possibilities with an organic quality that seems to make this music unexpected and inevitable in equal measure. As if everything was still to be invented and revealed.
