bernie mcgann trio - at long last

energetic contemporary jazz from this australian trio, their only release in this formation, with mcgann on alto sax, lloyd swanton on bass, and john pochee on drums, though emanem released an lp from bernie mcgann quartet the same year (1987). not as "out" as this label can get (probably why it appears as part of its "jazz series"), but truly rock solid from the minute it starts, with a nice balance of exploration, including proper solos from everyone, and more straight ahead trio playing. mainly standards on offer here, but mcgann contributes a lively original, "salaam", to kick off proceedings. top entry!
