Joe Lovano and his Polish conspirators from the Marcin Wasilewski Trio are endowed with an especially adventurous spirit on their second joint endeavor for ECM. On Homage, the quartet investigates the type of free-flowing interplay and expansive passages of improvisation that have become a staple in Lovano's ventures with his Trio Tapestry. Two long-form compositions and the title track "Homage" make up the bedrock of the album and find the players at their most exploratory, with Joe frequently swapping out his tenor and t?rogat? for a variety of percussion instruments. The group's pass at "Love In The Garden" embellishes the evocative melody with fluid harmonies, wrapped in haunting rubato tides. Improvised miniatures complete a program that proves Wasilewski and his trio cohorts to be the ideal match for Lovano's singular musings and the group's seamless chemistry is more apparent than ever on Homage.
