The trio has sold three times as many albums as jazz acts normally do, but they still managed to stay on the good side of jazz aficionados and critics. The trio played upwards of 100 shows each year to a very varied audience. Besides the usual jazz audience you'd be as likely to spot a little old lady as an advertising exec or high school kids. Their favourite moments are spent improvising on stage, and this is how they keep their material fresh and ever evolving. No two shows are the same and to a large extent, the band tries to capture this loose, improvisational vibe on record, and they rarely do more than one take in the studio. This recording is from April 2000.
