What a beautifully crafted CD. The songs just flow from one to the other. My absolute favorite track is "And Here" - I often repeat this track just to hear the wickedness of the drums. "Laying A Strip" reminds me of an updated ragtime stomp. The latin feel of "Cheney Pinata" and the slow build-up to the funky groove of "Velouria" are also winners. "Dirty Blonde" is a delicious treat, too. TBP ends this CD with a fierce hard rock bass in "Iron Man." I like the creativity of TBP and how they stretch from the confines of what I consider to be traditional jazz. 4 stars!!!!!
These guys deserve the kudos they've received. Jazz piano trios generally like to push the boundaries of tempo, metre and melody, and these guys just push harder, and more inventively. It's clear they are superb musicians. It's also clear they're having a great time. This album just makes me smile every time I hear it.

I do kinow how why, I can only speculate, but the quality of the recording is sub par. The music is great, the recording is horrible. It sounds compressed, flat and uninvolving.
