Chris and Ken met Robin Bullock at a festival in Maryland and quickly discovered a musical affinity that was to result in years of collaboration continuing to this day. This CD, recorded live at the historic Ethel's Place in Baltimore, MD, represents their first work as trio. The repertoire on this recording is more rooted in Celtic and American traditions than their later work and the ensemble precision is certainly on display.
