Memories, Dreams, Reflections

"Nicole Glover's work embodies a potent paradox at the heart of the art form known as Jazz: in this music, the process of individuation is as much about belonging and sharing as it is about differentiation and idiosyncrasy. To that end, this album is as much a tour-de-force for Glover and her bandmates as it is a tapestry or family-tree of mentors, elders, and peers whose spirits resonate throughout the trio's sound. Glover's choice of working with a wide pallet compositionally (with the exception of the Glover originals, each piece on this record was written by a different composer) helps bring this trio's distinct personality into focus even more. "Glover's mastery of her instrument is so complete and self-evident that there is no attempt throughout this record to exercise virtuosity for it's own sake - if anything, one hears restraint, care, intention, and orchestration in every note and every silence." - From the liner notes by Or Bareket
