Give And Take

"This album will delight you, but it should only surprise those who have failed to follow the best of recent creative improvisation.  Still, some listeners, expecting a more stern and academic recital, will no doubt be caught off guard by the abundance of warmth and humor in the music of John Lindberg's trio.  They should have no trouble in setting their preconceptions aside, which after all is one of the things the music of Lindberg, George Lewis and Barry Altschul has always been about." (from the CD's liner notes by Bob Blumenthal)
