Max Nagl (alto, baritone & soprano sax)
Otto Lechner (accordion, piano, voice)

When music is so perfume-soaked, marked with such imagery, haunted by history,and pierced through and through with trembling and chills, it lays bare its own humility. And in doing so, enchants us. This is none other than a reflection of our own humanity. A reflection that, at the hand of these gifted musicians, becomes a little more desperate,and at the same time, a little more beautiful too. — Alex Dutilh, chief editor of "Jazzman"
Max Nagl contributed eight of the ten compositions for this set (all but the two Charles Mingus songs) and his playing (mostly on alto) is consistently impressive, but accordionist Otto Lechner often steals honors. The uniqueness of hearing his instrument in this trio setting gives the CD a distinctive personality, and his playing on the slower pieces (including the opening "Bowling") is often haunting. Nagl purposely let the influence of Mingus be heard both in his playing (hinting in various spots at Eric Dolphy, Clifford Jordan, and Charles McPherson) and his inside/outside originals. The music often swings conventionally if hard, but there are also sound explorations (most notably on "Weird Nightmare"), some catchy melodic riffs, group improvising, and unexpected variety. Much of the music is cinematic, particularly "Flamingo," allowing listeners to devise their own scenes to this intriguing and stimulating set. It is well worth several listens. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
