This remarkable trio album, released in 1987, centers around German jazz trumpeter Uli Beckerhoff and features drummer John Marshall and pianist Jasper Van't Hof. Track A1 opens with a modal, muted trumpet reminiscent of Miles Davis, gliding over tight, rhythmic drumming and spacious synth pads. Track A2 delves into abstract jazz with a mysterious atmosphere, skillfully enriched by synthesizer sounds, while track B3 offers a deeply satisfying release from built-up tension. The entire album captures a trippy, refined spirituality akin to ECM works by Rainer Bruninghaus and Markus Stockhausen, making it a fantastic recommendation for fans of the ECM sound and crossover jazz.
