"I’ve long listened to Ilario’s compositions, and his latest work is as enjoyable as ever. Rich stories are told through Ilario’s mastery of the keyboard alongside his meaningful explanations of different tracks that make listening to a live show pleasurable and understood. The trio feed off each other effortlessly grabbing cues and developments for great improvisation and undoubtable musicianship.”
