Alon Nechushtan has created an energetically fused recording for his first trio outing. Alon is joined by one of the few rhythm sections able to immerse and saunter through his original compositions, inspired sometimes by Mendelssohn, sometimes Thelonius Monk or Keith Jarrett. They make it all seem easy and fun, in a trio recording you can dig into for a long time.

A New York resident since 2003, his potent partnership with Weiss and Mouton places a premium on group interplay at the same time it encourages individual solo expression Bill Milkowski – Jazz inside
This expressive/progressive jazz pianist like to let it hang in left leaning fashion as you can hear echoes of Monk and progressive Jarrett (without the humming) running through this engaging set that doesn’t really like to acknowledge boundaries. Fun stuff from places you would least expect it and a friendly listen to boot Chris Spector – Midwest Records
