Description
"Pianist Fred Hersh, bassist Steve La Spina and drummer Jeff Hirshfield collectively known as ETC, have a special chemistry having played together for years. On this outing they've added the burly tenor saxophone tones of Jerry Bergonzi to that proven formula. While ETC is known for its gentle, cascading quality, Bergonzi holds nothing back on this session. He blows with Herculean fervour on the energetic opener, Splurge, pulling the band along with him by the sheer force of his personality. He manages to settle into mellower moments on Hersh's Days Gone By and Evanessence, the latter an obvious nod to Bill Evans. A genuine saxophone colossus, with a ready-made trio - ETC+One." - Bill Milkowski, JazzTimes
