This was the first recording by this collaborative trio. Each of their three explorative musical sensibilities work sympathetically with one another. Terje Rypdal's extended and floating guitar notes fly over the propulsive and explosive drumming of Jack DeJohnette, while Miroslav Vitous dashes back and forth between the two of them on the string bass. Rypdal and Vitous each wrote two of the set's six pieces, with the remaining pair being jointly credited to all three, and clearly borne out of a certain amount of improvisation. In it's quiet beauty and ethereal bearing this music resembles that of the debut by Vitous's earlier band, Weather Report, with Rypdal here taking on the glorious soaring flights of Wayne Shorter. The moody and undulating music was produced in pristine clarity by ECM label founder Manfred Eicher and was recorded in Oslo, Norway, home of Rypdal.Recorded at Talent Studio, Oslo, Norway in June 1978.
