I'm still surprised when I hear new jazz, and Steve Lantner plays it, reconstituting and reinventing the tradition. First hearing this trio, you'll be struck by its sheer kinetic joy, its ability to swing and to drive in ways that are central to jazz, without simply repeating some specific events in that tradition. The opening of Joe Morris's New Routine has a collective lope rarely achieved, an off-hand and offkilter movement that is immediate and reaches across time. — Stuart Broomer
