Husband and wife pianists Robin Holcomb and Wayne Horvitz team up with Vancouver quartet Talking Pictures on this album that defies easy categorization. As the title suggests, there’s a lesson of sorts being expounded. There’s certainly something archaic about it, almost as if these songs had already existed as prototypes in another time and place, a lost America of long ago. Yet this music is very much about now, a symbolic distillation of the present.

“… improvisations and investigations into the heart and soul of experimental jazz … the composer-singer-pianist takes journeys to carnival-like atmospheres and the natural world with equal aplomb.” – PopMatters.com

“… represents a fuller consolidation, coming closest to representing her varied musical interests. Lyrically, as ever, Holcomb’s messages, while strong, are delivered gently, without a big stick. Expansive and deeply resonant, but in the quietest fashion possible … perfectly melds Holcomb’s divergent interests, with a group of musicians who seem perfectly connected to her evocative world on an empathic, telepathic level.” – All About Jazz
