Jimmy Bennington, Steve Cohn & Ed Schuller - New Jersey Freebie

Drummer Jimmy Bennington alongside pianist Steve Cohn pianist and bassist Ed Schuller, recorded in 2014 at Steve's studio in Hackensack, New Jersey.

Jimmy tells it as it was: Ed drove us with his bass, calmly cursing and singing throughout. The piano's webs became the more intricate, Steve's voice blending into the trio, and a light was shone on the drummer's obscurity.

A sunny exploration of Hackensack, feeling good, experiencing new air, new faces, shops, people, an appetite growing...meandering strolls and discourse; many ideas passed back and forth, a thoughtful walk back to le Studio�a great old time warehouse you don't see too much anymore, situated at the tracks...we were quiet and stayed that way for some time�just stillness and rest...the sound of the trains rumbling past, whistles blowing, augmented our hearts and the music we made there tremendously.
