The first encounter of John Edwards, Mark Sanders and John Tilbury, recorded live at London’s Cafe Oto. This is a vigorous music of equals, the democratic clamour of three distinct personalities committed to occupying a common space and working together to create something collective without erasing their differences in the process. There’s tension, even friction, between Edwards and Sanders’ quickness and Tilbury’s more measured approach, but it’s a productive tension and one that enables all three to explore areas of their playing that perhaps aren’t always foregrounded.
