Bill Payne, Eva Lindal, and Carol Liebowitz take this most classic group of instruments — piano, violin, and clarinet — and turn it on its head, unleashing music that is 100% improvised.
With nothing preconceived, they each listen intently and spontaneously respond to each other creating music with a deeply felt mix of lyricism and intensity.
Though far apart geographically (Bill in Las Vegas, Eva in Stockholm, and Carol in New York), their very first sounds as a trio clearly signalled that theirs was an unusually close connection.
