Review by Scott Yanow
Originally recorded for her Halcyon label and reissued as a Jazz Alliance CD in 1995, this unusual set by pianist Marian McPartland finds her playing quite free in spots. Her interplay with bassist Michael Moore and drummer Jimmy Madison (Billy Hart takes Madison's place on two numbers) is very alert, sometimes almost telepathic, and much more adventurous than one might expect. Five of the 11 selections are by McPartland, and four are by Moore, but even the standards ("What Is This Thing Called Love" and "Three Little Words") sound as if they are being performed by lyrical avant-gardists. Fascinating music worthy of several listens.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Grabado originalmente para su sello Halcyon y reeditado como CD de la Jazz Alliance en 1995, este conjunto inusual de la pianista Marian McPartland la encuentra tocando bastante libre en algunos momentos. Su interacción con el bajista Michael Moore y el batería Jimmy Madison (Billy Hart sustituye a Madison en dos números) es muy aguda, a veces casi telepática, y mucho más aventurera de lo que cabría esperar. Cinco de las 11 selecciones son de McPartland, y cuatro de Moore, pero incluso los estándares («What Is This Thing Called Love» y «Three Little Words») suenan como si estuvieran siendo interpretados por vanguardistas líricos. Música fascinante digna de varias escuchas.
