Debutalbummet fra trioen Koppel/Blade/Colley blev rost til skyerne og rangerer på jazzmagasinet DownBeat's liste over årets bedste jazzudgivelser i 2015. Trommeslageren Brian Blade er en af de vigtigste trommeslagere i det 21. Århundrede, og han spiller blandt andet med Wayne Shorter og Herbie Hancock. Scott Colley er manden bag kontrabassen, og han har spillet med Chris Potter, Jim Hall og Kenny Werner for bare at nævne et par stykker. Og så er der Benjamin Koppel, som er Danmarks mest internationalt anerkendte saxofonist. Blades kreativitet på trommerne matcher perfekt Colleys stærke improvisatoriske evner på bassen. I samspil med Koppels lyriske saxofonspil tegner trioen et stærkt melodisk lydbillede. Musikken strækker sig fra den stille, balladeprægede jazz til det mere kraftfulde og energiske.
