On this album, John Zorn, Bill Frisell, and George Lewis rock out to the hard-bop compositions of Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley, Sonny Clark, and Freddie Redd. This album is more of a three way collaboration than a full Zorn project, although it was his idea. The entire album has a really great sense of play, and of fun. This is just three great improvisors having a good time. The lack of a rhythm section gives these guys a lot of room, and makes these rhythm grounded pieces take on a more ethereal, impressionistic touch.

John Zorn: alto sax
Bill Frisell: guitar
George Lewis: trombone
