“that that”
upon hearing the words “that that” together in a sentence, one doesn’t notice anything unusual. but upon reading those same words, they look strange and one might wonder if they are correctly used. a re-examining occurs.
the music on this record, along with the things that inspired it, has a similar quality: the quality of depth beyond the surface. hopefully on repeated listenings, the listener will notice new things, and previously noted things will be questioned and contemplated. perhaps then he or she might think. “i didn’t realize that that was what i ’ve been hearing all along!”
– jesse stacken
"what amazes me is how tight this trio is and how they change direction, tempo and dynamics in mid-flow. without a doubt, one of the best piano dates we've heard so far this year. "
- bruce lee gallanter, downtown music gallery.
