About the album

Freewheeling, playful and engaging, trumpeter Kevin Woods, guitarist John Stowell and pianist Miles Black weave their way through a collection of originals by Woods & Black, and others from Jobim, Wayne Shorter, Bill Evans and Harold Arlen on their debut recording. Though colleagues for many years in different configurations, the three found inspiration in collaborating as Trio Linguae (Lin-gwee) through their collective sense of conversational, contrapuntal improvising and reflexive listening - harkening the spirit of duo and trio albums by Bill Evans, Jim Hall or Kenny Wheeler. Integral to Vancouver's creative music scene, Miles Black has been a collaborator of the highest order since the '80s. John Stowell's unique musical voice and relationship to the guitar has gained him untold followers throughout the world since he began touring in the '70s, and Kevin Woods has found his place in Northwest jazz circles as an articulate improvisor and catalyst for artistic endeavors.
Unbeschwert, spielerisch und einnehmend weben sich der Trompeter Kevin Woods, der Gitarrist John Stowell und der Pianist Miles Black durch eine Sammlung von Originalen von Woods & Black, von Jobim, Wayne Shorter, Bill Evans und Harold Arlen auf ihrer Debütaufnahme. Obwohl sie seit vielen Jahren Kollegen in verschiedenen Besetzungen waren, ließen sich die drei bei ihrer Zusammenarbeit als Trio Linguae (Lin-gwee) durch ihren kollektiven Sinn für Konversation, kontrapunktisches Improvisieren und reflexives Zuhören inspirieren - ganz im Geiste der Duo- und Trio-Alben von Bill Evans, Jim Hall oder Kenny Wheeler. Als integraler Bestandteil der kreativen Musikszene Vancouvers ist Miles Black seit den 80er Jahren ein hochrangiger Musiker. John Stowells einzigartige musikalische Stimme und seine Beziehung zur Gitarre haben ihm seit Beginn seiner Tourneen in den 70er Jahren unzählige Anhänger auf der ganzen Welt beschert, und Kevin Woods hat seinen Platz in Jazzkreisen des Nordwestens als artikulierter Improvisator und Katalysator für künstlerische Bestrebungen gefunden.

Roaming the world with his guitar over the last 40 years, John Stowell has developed significant musical relationships with numerous artists along the way, including Swedish guitarist Ulf Bandgren who has been a consistent and inspired partner for ten years.

The band's easy chemistry, engaging original compositions and rhythmic vitality make for a compelling and entertaining listen. 'John Stowell plays jazz, but he doesn't use any of the cliches; he has an incredible originality. John is a master creator.' - Larry Coryell.
