In nineteen short to fairly short pieces, this trio often makes pleasant music. The opening is surprising, with unclear sounds, some piano notes, Italian voices. Then trumpeter Paolo Fresu immediately lets us hear his delightful tone in the gruff ,,South shout mouth''. Sometimes you hear a pleasantly crazy trio that brings the music with the necessary humor. Then again the themes are simply compelling, such as the eloquent "Paftastique" or that lyrical "Knock out", on which Salis hums along exuberantly on his accordion.
