This is a quintessential modern saxophone trio album. The instrumental mastery of all three players is beyond doubt and they make a strong band of equals. All the compositions are Nachoff's and they range from the relatively swift ‘Clairvoyant Jest’, with all three stepping around each other in an elaborate modern dance, to the more serene ‘Gravitas’, in which Nachoff sets gently swooning, long notes against arco bass and rustling brushes. ‘Imagination Reconstruction’ has the mood of three men absorbed in finding their way through a complex mathematical puzzle. There is composed music and there is improvising in a relatively free manner, but the joins between the two methods are barely discernible. The intellectual searching of this music overrides any wild emotions making it sometimes an overly cerebral experience, an impression exacerbated by Nachoff's dry tone. The listener must rely upon the richness of Helias' sound and the atmospheric range of Weiss for a wider range of rewards.
