Jazz fans need no introduction to Joe Lovano and his partners in Trio Tapestry, but classical listeners who found things harder to love after the 20th century emergence of serialism and 12-tone forms, might get a change of heart from this innovative ensemble, now releasing its third album with Our Daily Bread. Lovano, multifaceted improv/contemporary-classical pianist Marilyn Crispell and subtle percussionist Carmen Castaldi, have been exploring a rich landscape of tone rows, ballad and blues phrasing, and glimpses of jazz grooves since the trio's launch in 2018 – but their familiarity with each other's skills goes back a lot further than that.

Our Daily Bread takes the process enchantingly on, with the title of the opening 'All Twelve' making the structural source plain, but its development is a quietly gripping transition from Crispell's steadily climbing note patterns, through their slow absorption into harmonies - eventually shadowed by Castaldi's mallets - and then supportive dissolution into Lovano's tenor buzzes, purrs, and hints at grooves. 'Grace Notes' opens on booming, echoey percussion sounds invoking a rolling low-piano rumble, joined by Lovano's soprano-like tarogato sound, mixing taut, fragmentary figures and urgently-rising trills. 'Le Petit Opportun' and the title track highlight the leader's tenor-ballad lyricism and Crispell's spontaneous orchestration of his thoughts, 'One For Charlie' is a restrainedly rapturous solo-tenor elegy for Charlie Haden; 'The Power Of Three' is a dreamily compelling collective improv; 'Rhythm Spirit' is a brittle tenor/percussion dialogue - and 'Crystal Ball' a closing ensemble celebration of this unique outfit's uncanny empathy.
