Extended

Harbinger Extended Extended edition

These three musicians sound as if they were destined to play with each other. Their interactions, improvisations and the seamless way their compositions flow from cut to cut feel instinctive. Extended exemplifies creativity." Â (Geraldine Wyckoff, Offbeat)

Meeting in the storied musical environs of New Orleans, Honduran pianist Oscar Rossignoli, Pittsburg bassist Matt Booth and Lousiana-bred drummer Brad Webb, bring their varied pasts together in the development of an expansive group identity through their distinctive writing and dynamic improvisational reflexes. With each contributing and structuring their compositions with awareness of the other's musical personalities, the feeling of a collective consciousness invigorates. From the cool groove and fleet soloing from Rossignoli on his own title track, to the galloping "Connie," or the delicate and open-aired "Loft Spaces,".

Extended creates a rich, sculpted landscape, much in the tradition of modern piano trios like E. S. T., but rooted firmly in the musical soil of their adopted hometown.
