Often when musicians of high stature pool their talents, the who's who aspect overshadows what is played or, more importantly, how they played. Though there's plenty of spectacular playing from each of the three, there're no defining solos that blow the others away. Rather, the trio captures the soul of each melody and sets it free through artful, delicate expression. As the title suggests, not only do Baldassari, Bullock and Reischman embark upon an acoustic, global excursion, they do so with enticing dance music from their visits.
Travellers has the trappings of becoming a road-tested classic over time.
