With their third album, Joe Lovano's Trio Tapestry continues its expansive, lyrical soundscape, deepening its interplay through intensive listening and intense concentration.[1][4][5] Lovano himself describes "Our Daily Bread" as driven by rhythmic expression that unlocks the mysterious dimension of the music.[5] The ensemble creates flowing ballads and elegant pieces that sound like soulful songs.[5] The trio's debut was praised by BBC Music Magazine for its exceptional emotional depth, based not on ferocity but on profound feeling.[5] Lovano's compositions and harmonies give the trio ample creative freedom to explore moods, textures, melodies, and timbres in innovative ways.[5] Marilyn Crispell on piano shapes the music with a sense of modern chamber music and influences from the post-Coltrane era, while drummer Carmen Castaldi, a longtime collaborator of Lovano's, enriches the soundscape with poetic playing on cymbals and gongs.[5] In the middle of the album, Lovano dedicates a soulful tenor saxophone solo to bassist Charlie Haden in the bluesy "One for Charlie," where every note gains significance.[5] The recording was made in May 2022 at the Auditorio Stelio Molo in Lugano, produced by Manfred Eicher.[2][5]
