By George W. Harris

Pianist Hubert Nuss forms a trio here with John Goldsby/b and John Riley/dr to deliver an hour’s worth of impressionistic musings. There are 16 tunes here, so if you use the math, you realize that a lot of the music is going to be short and sweet, more thoughts here and there than fully elaborated creations. Ambience is in high abundance here. If you’re tired of your Brian Eno records, here’s a next best thing.
