This is the second release by the Union trio of Laurence Hobgood, Brian Torff and Paul Wertico. Again it demonstrates how a traditional line-up of piano, bass and drums can explore harmonic boundaries yet remain accessible and engaging. This album includes an equal mix of originals and standards – even Where is Love from the 60’s musical Oliver makes a surprise appearance – and all the tracks demonstrate the trio’s intimate understanding of each other’s playing.
