He's loose and sharp at the same time. He played with an openness in a way that nobody really did before. I've always loved the piano trio format; it's so pleasing to the ear, and it can be so interactive and dynamic, so gentle or so aggressive, like a continuous conversation. This album gave me the chance to explore this great legacy with two masters of the form, and to play tribute to Roy and the inspiration he's given to so many.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis album provides a feast of delight for the listener to enjoy. There's an abundance of wonderful solo improvisations from everyone but it's the cohesion and musicality of the ensemble playing and the passionate dedication to the music that resonates most. \"I wanted to put myself into Roy's world with these tunes, as everyone has a link back to him, to pay tribute to his greatness. It's just such so much fun playing this music with these guys.
