"With a visionary and audacious spirit," to quote the Downbeat journalist who reviewed the album upon its release, these grand masters of improvisation, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, and Jack DeJohnette, laid the groundwork for a unique concept of trio interaction in this first recording of their association, released under the name 'Gateway'.
The trio tackles original pieces by Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette with a visionary idea of what a specifically jazz trilogue could sound like. The instrumental signature of each musician crystallized from this first attempt into a high-level collective discourse, foreshadowing the music to come.
The reissue of this album in the Luminessence series is presented in a double cardboard sleeve with unreleased photos and new liner notes by Nels Cline of the band Wilco.
