TRIO 3: OLIVER LAKE/REGGIE WORKMAN/ANDREW CYRILLE Special guest: IRENE SCHWEIZER
Oliver Lake-alto saxophone, Reggie Workman-bass, Andrew Cyrille-drums, Irene Schweizer-piano
The grandiose Trio 3 is made up of leading pioneers of Afro-American improvisational music. Double bassist Reggie Workman played with John Coltrane, drummer Andrew Cyrille accompanied Cecil Taylor for ten years and Oliver Lake is a founder of the World Saxophone Quartet. The lyricism and soul of the three veterans fits like a glove with the almost classical piano style of Swiss free jazz ace Irene Schweizer.
