It isn’t everyday, and certainly is unexpected, when a trio of young, up-and-coming musicians still experimenting and searching for a defined sound collaborate with one of the most proven, established masters of his instrument; but�People I Like is exactly that, combining the forces of a fresh sax/guitar/piano trio from New England with Dutch drummer Han Bennink, one of the vanguard figures in the birth of free jazz in Europe. The music presented on People I Like is profound because it takes an "out" approach to an earlier style of jazz, as opposed to pushing modern creative music further and further in the same direction. -Mike Szajewski, WNUR-FM (Evanston, IL)
