Ton Trio – “Way, The” – [Singlespeed Music]

3 musicians with strong ties to the Bay Area recorded this album in Oakland in 2008. Aram Shelton did the engineering in addition to playing the reed and also runs private label Singlespeed. Kurt Kotheimer (CIMP) is on bass and fine drums are from Sam Ospovat. Track 1 reminds me of Sonny Rollins antics, 2 is driven by the rhythm section, 3&4 rearrange phrases and are very spare.
