The third in guitarist Corey Christiansen's trilogy of albums
exploring the grounds between jazz, blues and Americana, is focused on
his original compositions - tunes written for people in his life, places
been, characters imagined, landscapes seen and the captured feelings
from those experiences. The rapport within his longtime band is at its
most evolved and empathetic, while Christiansen's already prodigious
guitar work has found the fluidity and emotive qualities only obtained
through their continued collective focus and dedication to concept.
'Supported by a responsive rhythm section, alternately
supple and clangorous, (Christiansen & Lapidus) imbue the
Christiansen tunes with soulful lyricism to spare. ' --- JazzTimes
