 Asked with whom she wanted to play at the festival, she took the opportunity.Crispell and Drake had already worked together as a trio with German saxophonist Peter Brötzmann, playing a short run of concerts that resulted in the album "Hyperion", released on Music & Arts.The three musicians had played together only in a studio rehearsal the day before the live show.In her review for AllMusic, Joslyn Layne states "this is an incredible performance by a stunning group of musicians whose skill and chemistry completely sidestep the fact that this is only the second time that these three great jazz improvisers ever played together."
