[...] The title piece not only infers but illustrates a dramatic
paradox. Its rhythmic urgency contrasts with the trio's assertion of color,
mode, and dynamic. Fat chords meet driving snares as Oh contrasts with
alternating elongated and clipped bassline pulses. Closer "Entrustment" is a
processional. Iyer plays droning chords as an intro before Sorey's tom-toms and
Oh's bass supply heft and direction. The motion is ever-widening, circular, and
constant, dripping with force and poignancy. Uneasy offers a portrait of an
emergent trio discovering a multivalently complex language while simultaneously
articulating its myriad possibilities. The end result is centered,
action-oriented music that is at once gloriously colorful and brilliantly
articulated.
