With Colin Stranahan (drums), Michael Kanan (piano), and Matt Stavrakas (double bass)—the album serves as a portrait of Nico’s musical influences, with some tracks reflecting his taste for hard bop and bebop. The great pianist Michael Kanan brings a tasteful melodic and harmonic touch, complemented by Colin’s groovy and super-swinging drums, along with Matt’s steady yet interactive lines. Other tracks showcase Nico’s post-bop and Latin American influences, where Colin Stranahan explores straight-eighth grooves, highlighting the interplay within the trio.
