1993 release ** "The trio setting of tuba and non-traditional percussion and Eskelin's compositions leave an uncluttered canvas free of many of the standard traps of head-solo-head without disolving into the total formlessness of much "avant garde" jazz. The musicians (Ellery Eskelin - tenor, Joe Daley - tuba, and Arto Tuncboyaciyan - percussion) respond to the setting with some beautifully executed improvisations. At the center of the trio, Eskelin's thick tenor sound - a seemingly impossible combination of gut-bucket and precision - drives the music forward."
