What you get is unadulterated jazz, full of rhythm, swing, pulse, instrumental
mastery and fun, joy, and jazz legacy turned upside down. The album contains
four tracks of about twenty minutes each, offering plenty of time for long
improvisations, playful and artful interplay, and for the three musicians to
shine in turn, as you expect it from a live recording. This latter aspect
really determines the music, because there is an element of show and
entertainment to please the audience, which reacts enthusiastically after each
piece, albeit in the distance.

This is jazz that continues the legacy of performances by Louis Armstrong,
Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Eldridge, Clifford Brown, Freddie Hubbard ... but then
pushing swing and bop into a new high energy free playing zone, as if post-bop,
loft-jazz, cool jazz, Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler and everything in between
had never existed, A tree with deep roots and wild branches.

Even if it is kind of a sylistic side-step for Evans, the end result is really
great and fun.

Snap those fingers, tap your feet and bob your heads!
