On this legendary and masterfully intimate 1983 acoustic summit, three of Europe's greatest modern jazz string visionaries join forces for a spectacular, high-fidelity masterclass in interplay and acoustic texture. Simply titled Trio, this landmark session on the JMS label brings together Belgian guitar icon Philip Catherine, French gypsy-jazz lineage guitar master Christian Escoudé, and the virtuosic violin wizardry of Didier Lockwood. Stripped entirely of a traditional rhythm section, the three masters rely on an incredible, telepathic sense of timing and deep swing to create a lush, rhythmically propulsive landscape. The album's compositions are split evenly among the three musicians, showcasing a gorgeous array of post-bop harmonic explorations, breezy Mediterranean melodies, and blistering, high-velocity soloing. From the fluid, weaving guitar textures of Catherine's "Changement d'avis" to the dramatic, soaring violin flights on Lockwood's "Broken Doll" and Escoudé’s tender lyricism on "Ballade pour Alison," this pristine chamber session remains an absolute, essential jewel of 1980s European acoustic jazz.
