Alister Spence Trio - Three Is A Circle

'A debut album but fully mature. These players are among the most respected in the local ranks' Shane Nichols FINANCIAL REVIEW

‘Over the course of this performance, the trio busts through the boundaries and crashes around freely. The multitude of styles and approaches - shifting in and out of free time, or moving across various rhythmic bases - is impressive. It’s representative of this trio’s strengths, which makes them worthy of investigation’ Jason Bivins CADENCE USA

'While, in its faithful emulation of admired American traditions, some jazz from the antipodean periphery remains the product of one-way cultural traffic, other Australian musicians produce jazz with the potential to feed back into and influence the centre. Spence's music is of the latter kind' Andy Sugg MUSIC FORUM

'they ought to be heard beyond the jazz world...This trio will soon fill the gap left by Engine Room. They can do the classical things you expect from jazz trios while having the potential to move in almost any direction' Clare SMH
