RE-MASTERED AUDIO and NEW PACKAGING ! This album, originally released in 2008, was re-mastered and repackaged in Digifile cardboard format. It includes the original full-color booklet.

John Taylor's classy trio delivers another great album, following the trio's acclaimed Angel of the Presence.

"Whirlpool makes me think of the first time I heard Portrait In Jazz by Bill Evans. It was many years ago, but I remember that Evans' very first piano notes, isolated and provisional on the air, set a mood that turned me inward. And I remember how startling it was when Evans so quickly relinquished that mood to the bassist, who not only continued the rapt atmosphere, but deepened it. In those days, it wasn't done. Bass players stayed in the background..." (T. Conrad)

"...another stellar release." (J. Kelman)
"Splendid!" (M. Gladu)
"...we are in the hands of master musicians. " (K. Mathieson)
