"Smalltown Superjazz is proud to present the brand new studio album from the Free Fall trio consisting of Havard Wiik, Ken Vandermark & Ingebrigt Haker Flaten. With clarinets, piano & bass Free Fall creates magical moods and brings the heritage of Jimmy Giuffres' legendary '60s trio with Paul Bley & Steve Swallow into the new millennium. The Point In A Line is the perfect meeting between the innovative jazz scenes in Oslo & Chicago. It's melancholic, dark, moody but also melodic. The album was recorded in Chicago by Jason Ward & the post production was done by Ward, Vandermark & Bob Weston (Shellac)."

Ken Vandermark (clarinets) / Ingebrigt H'ker Flaten (bass) / H'vard Wiik (piano) = Free Fall. Gorgeous trio recording from Chicago reedsman Vandermark and his trio Free Fall, achieving freedom & controlled chaos, balanced with beauty & delicacy. "Any listener with a solid knowledge of jazz history will realize that inspiration for the name of this group was taken from the brilliant album, Free Fall, by the Jimmy Giuffre Trio. The instrumentation has obvious parallels (clarinet, piano, bass), and I'd like to think that the music of this ensemble has an openness akin to that of Giuffre's band with Paul Bley and Steve Swallow. It is important to note, though there are other associations that can be made between the two groups (combination of pulse and open time, distribution of melodic responsibility through fragmentation, etc.), Free Fall was not put together to function as a Jimmy Giuffre 'tribute band'." --Ken Vandermark.
