Contents

Music and recording

The album was recorded in concert at La Cova del Drac in Barcelona on October 9 and 10, 1993. [1]

On the up-tempo "Anthropology", Mehldau plays the melody "note for note and then begins to move through the lower register for sevenths and ninths, playing 16th and even 32nd notes to corral the rhythm section as he moves the scale over first a half, then a whole, and then two and a half steps." [2] Jorge Rossy arranged "I Didn't Know What Time It Was" in a 5
4
time signature, and the band played some of the bars with four beats. [3] The title track contains a piano cadenza towards the start and end. [3]

Reception

The AllMusic reviewer wrote that "This may not be as great as some of Meldau's later trio work, but it is very impressive for such an early date." [2]
