How can I describe it to both musicians, sofisticated music lovers, or just casual listeners? The best I can do (so far) is this:
We can certainly put the album in the "fusion", "instrumental", "electric jazz", "jazz-rock" cathegories. What you will hear is drums, electric bass (with effects and some loop machines which record bass notes and play'em back in a repetitive manner), and electric guitar (with loop machines too). Overall the impact of the trio is bigger then standard trios, the sounds of the stringed instruments and machines make it feel like a quartet or quintet. A very good feeling! The album is dense, but luckily there's also a good number of slow tunes, rubato atmospheres, improvised interplay, spaces with no drums. I would say an incredibly well balanced album, especially considering it was recorded live without thinking at all of making a record out of the show!.
