In what might seem like a nod to the early music of Ornette Coleman, The October Trio draws out a musical line of logic by using reaction and interplay as a building block. Brad Turner starts things off with a wandering trumpet line that is commented on by Evan Arntzen's saxophone. Momentum is built underneath by the rhythm section as the horns play off each other's ideas in a more insistent fashion. With a little over half a minute to go, the tempo drops off as trumpet, sax and bass engage in a mournful call & response. Really great stuff.
