You kind of know instantly on this latest album for Dutch label Criss Cross
that Norwegian guitarist Lage Lund has seized the current release listening
agenda once again with this very fine recording session made in the US in June
2022. Lund has a tremendous US band with him - pianist Sullivan Fortner,
bassist Matt Brewer and drummer Tyshawn Sorey - and the tunes here have a very
unforced organic quality to them.

Tunes are Lund's own and they are a reflective, introspective collection but
full too of an enuduring brightness. We'd pick out 'Warsaw' and 'Elephants' as
the pieces that grabbed us most: one quite serious, the other brighter and more
joyful.

If you are a Paul Motian fan you get some sense of the kind of mood some of
that great drummer's later groups conveyed. Sorey provides a great looseness
here that underpins everything on the album and allows all the players to
express themselves fully.
