With daring and visionary spirit, to quote a Downbeat review from the year of this albums release, master improvisers John Abercrombie, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette forged a unique vision of trio interplay on their first joint effort under the Gateway moniker. The trio tackles Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette originals with a visionary idea of what three-way conversations in jazz could sound like. As The Observer remarked in an article of the time, the telepathic ensemble playing and perfect execution make it difficult to believe that this music is almost completely improvised. The players respectively unique instrumental signatures had already fully crystallised here, hinting at the music to come.
