The Schlippenbach Trio has worked together as a unit for around forty-five (!) years. Their magic chemistry is founded on intuitive listening and interaction the ability to respond in an instant and on the match between their characters, each adding to the whole as well as challenging each other a stroke of fortune. The spectrum of performances on Features covers a range from furore to elegy. It extends from energetic, forward-thrusting pieces via cool, calm, ambling passages and ballad moods to submersion in sound, in silence. (Excerpt from Bert Nogliks liner notes)
