What people have said about Kafka Pony:
This CD is one of the best independent Jazz/Fusion releases I have heard in a long
time. Tonally reminiscent of early Metheny/Pastorius collaborations with more structural freedom, each instrument provides a solid presence while leaving plenty of room for each other.
Erik Millett, CD Baby review.
Wonderful album, great interplay between top class musicians who master technique and musicality, freedom and groove… reminds me of other albums and artists like ‘The book of flame' of Michael Manring, 'Bright Size Life', 'Paris Blues' of
teve Lacy and Gil Evans, Joel Newton, Bruce Dunlap, the Dig Trio etc. We need more stuff like this!!

About this track...
This piece was composed as a vehicle for trio improvisation in a relaxed swing setting. It is a jazz waltz with lots of unexpected turns and spins. The introduction and ending contrast the mood of the rest of the piece and create a frame for viewing the cyclical inner portion.
