LUKE BERGMAN - MARTIN NEVIN - JASON BURGER

LUKE BERGMAN - Pedal Steel Guitar

Originally hailing from Washington state, Bergman has developed an immaculate musicality on various instruments -most notably while playing bass with the likes of Bill Frisell, Cuong Vu, and Ted Poor. Here, his weapon of choice is the pedal steel, which allows him to serve the set of mostly covers from a different vantage point. In fact, the quality of the pedal steel's slower, swelling voice, is central to the full effect of the album coming across as inherently aged and gentle, if not mildly ambiguous. Nevin's bass, in similar fashion, anchors the trio with remarkable delicacy, always active but considerate and purposed to the task at hand. Burger, coming from the bands of Andrew Bird, Big Thief, and Kenny Werner, is likewise skilled in choosing precisely the right gestures and moments where his contribution can best support the whole of the group effort. Together, these artists sound like three wise men who prefer to observe more often than describe their subject.“ -Max Kutner (All About Jazz)
