MUSIC REVIEW BY Tom Haugen, Take Effect

VIEW THE CD DETAIL PAGE

The trio of Eric Jacobson, Pamela York and Clay Schaub, as Affinity Trio the midwest outfit pen a timeless version of jazz that spreads out across 10 diverse tracks. The vivid trumpet from Jacobson and warm keys from York opens the listen with the glowing "Open Windows", and "Fitzroy" continues the dynamic interaction with soulful brass and well timed bass lines. Halfway through, "Themes For Ernie" focuses much on the emotive horn and twinkling keys, while "The End Of A Love Affair" is a rich album highlight that integrates the trumpet, piano and bass with much precision and care. "Hindsight" and "Segment" exit the listen, where the former spotlights the meticulous keys with incredible warmth, and the latter bops and shakes with an infectious energy you can't not enjoy. A solid debut of both originals and covers, the trio take nods towards legends like Bill Evans, Charlie Parker and Cedar Walton via their smooth, moody and graceful formula.
