Three wily veterans with consummate technique and a wealth of melodic ideas explore jazz standards and American Songbook gems in this superlative trio. Pasqua is a well-traveled pianist with a ravishing touch and a luminous harmonic palette. Oles makes the bass sing with plump, rounded notes, and LaBarbera is a trap set poet who gained renown as Bill Evans’ last drummer. Together, they turn jazz’s bread and butter configuration into a sumptuous feast.
