These tenor-saxophonists hail from Chicago, as does their label. Each is new to me as are their rhythmic companions. With no guide as to who plays when, the first impression is of three instrumentalists thinking like one: well-matched and tonally similar, they blend admirably, having coped with these eight varied originals in what the minimal notes with the download suggest was a single-day session.

Label founder Johnson is a Corea-oriented player - indeed, he contributes an original titled for his hero – andis a vital foil in all this, but with bass and drums suitably supportive yet reticent in solos, it’s the tenorists who take our attention.

This isn’t a three-tenor tear-up, and there’s no South Side jousting. Put aside of any comparisons with Griffin, Jordan or Von Freeman, the mood here is largely reflective, the extended tenor improvisations momentarily referencing Getz or even Warne Marsh. That said, I especially liked ‘Altar Blues’ [by Wojciechowski], its Basie-style riff and loping tempo, a perfect springboard for tenor interplay. ‘Force of Majeure’ with its nimble to-and-fro would have suited the Messengers, Johnson playing his most effusive solo. ‘A Monday Waltz [by Burns] was unrushed and quietly lyrical while ‘Some Other Sunday’ seemed almost reverential, the writing for the three horns well-developed, the tenors suitably damped down. Overall, quite a find: I’d like to know more about all these musicians.
