There's something splendidly old school about this trio, now celebrating a recording career of 27 years and a dozen albums. In a world of bluff and bluster, they've stuck to the golden values of subtlety and swing, keeping their music fresh despite the passing of the decades. It's no surprise they've featured a Shorter song as the title-track, as they share much of the saxophonist's sense of melody, but also his feel for the strangely strange yet oddly familiar. Though the trio's cover keeps Shorter's boppish urge, theirs is less knotty as they serenely shimmy across the changes. ‘Calm’ is even more dextrous, with Larry Young-type surges on the Hammond suggesting that this respite has come after a mighty storm. Stewart, with his lightness of touch, his facility to drive a pulse with the minimum of strokes, is ideal for the intimacy of this band, while his own composition, ‘Don't Ever Call Me Again’, is scurrilously witty. It's a tune Donald Fagen would appreciate, and he's honoured by Goldings with a tune bearing his name: in its sure but subtle weavings ‘Fagen’ sets the keynote for this understated, but not to be overlooked, release.
