There was quite a bit of good stuff here but the 30 minute piece from the Craig Taborn Trio was bliss to me. I need to hear it again but loved the long piano intro which subsides from a twitching sombreness into something almost funereal. That's then met by a lovely match from the bass' coffin-slow stride and a little further on by snakelike hisses and rattles from the percussion. Extraordinary, ominous beauty and energy of both passing and warning, of growth and fading.
