O-CARD PACKAGING

UK saxophonist Andy Sheppard's second ECM album introduces his freely lyrical new trio with Michel Benita and Sebastian Rochford. All three players share a sense of stylistic open-mindedness. Drummer Rochford is one of the young players changing perceptions of British jazz with bands Polar Bear and Acoustic Ladyland. Algiers-born French bassist Benita, who cites Charlie Haden and Scott LaFaro as influences, has played with Archie Shepp, Dewey Redman, Lee Konitz and in the ELB trio with Nguy n L and Peter Erskine. Repertoire here includes originals by Sheppard, Benita and Rochford, plus group improvisations and the standard "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows." in all contexts, interaction is highly creative, as Benita and Rochford respond perceptively to Sheppard's melodically and rhythmically inventive lines.
