2011 release. A trio of great harmony, already experienced in the past with another successful album, this time Max Ionata, Clarence Penn, and Reuben Rogers compete in a recording project using the original formula of the trio and deliver a total of 11 tracks with nine original pieces signed by the three musicians. Max Ionata is considered one of the most exciting saxophonists of the Italian jazz scene; he has played in some of the most important jazz clubs and jazz festivals in the world and has collaborated with great musicians such as Lenny White, Robin Eubanks, Steve Grossman, Mike Stern, Bob Mintzer, Bob Franceschini, Hiram Bullock, Joel Frahm, Roberto Gatto, Dado Moroni, Gegè Telesforo, John Thomas, Flavio Boltro, Furio Di Castri, Fabrizio Bosso, Mario Biondi, and many others. Clarence Penn, described by some critics as the most elegant of contemporary jazz drummers and chosen by many for his versatility in all kinds of music, he has collaborated with, among others, Betty Carter, Wynton Marsalis, Dizzy Gillespie, Steps Ahead, Mike Stern, Dianne Reeves, Roberta Flack, Gato Barbieri, Uri Caine, Dave Douglas, and Entìrico Rava. Reuben Rogers, bass player of exceptional musical talent, has had the opportunity to work with international jazz artists as Wynton Marsalis, Jason Moran, Roy Hargrove, Joshua Redman, Nicholas Payton, Mulgrew Miller, Jackie McLean, Charles Lloyd, and Dianne Reeves, among others. He has performed on tour around the world and has recorded over 70 CDs.
