On his third CD, explorative Finnish saxophonist Esa Pietilä is performing with the fewest number of players yet, providing allowance for space as much as for sonic shapes. The one element that doesn't concern Pietilä as much as his unfettered musical creations is repeated melodic lines or harmonic structure. For Pietilä injects immediacy and surprise into his playing by going for unplanned gems that like-minded interaction can discover through spontaneous playing. Pietilä doesn't include any chorded instruments in his trio, and with good reason: His interests are as much about implication the spaces between the dots he punches out as about literal adherence to pre-written composition.
