David Murray, Geri Allen and Terri Lyne Carrington are the Power Trio and their debut album is a dedication to Ornette Coleman. The album was recorded a week after Coleman’s passing with eight of the ten tracks here penned by members of the trio. ‘Mirror Of Youth’ builds and builds with piano and reed vying for the foreground, ‘Gerri-Rigged’ is a more free, abstract effort that disperses and comes together throughout, Coleman’s own ‘Perfection’ is delivered with energy and vigour while the excellent ‘Cycles And Season’s’ is the most groove oriented track with a rolling piano proving the foundation for the sax and drums to ride along to. Strong album.
