"The trio had played a gig at a Monday night improv series in L.A. called 'line-space-line' the night before at an art gallery. Though we had never played as a trio, we had all worked together before and the music flowed like water—very satisfying, very well received. Tuesday afternoon, we went to Catasonic Studios, owned and operated by Mark Wheaton, a Seattle native, it turns out. We played a number of spontaneous pieces, letting the music dictate. Not much discussion, no 'leader' per se. The trio energy and cohesion was as heightened and inspired as the night before."—Wally Shoup, saxophonist

21. Ficus Trio, "Track Two (Clip)" (Live at Gallery 1412, openmusicworkshop.org) 5:08. Open Music Workshop (free MP3)

Excerpted from a 27-minute number, pianist Gust Burns, alto saxophonist Gregory Reynolds, and percussionist Greg Campbell improv in slowly expanding concentric circles—a fascinating mood piece.

22. Bill Frisell, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" (East/West, Nonesuch) 8:00. iTunes

The Marvin Gaye classic, reinvented as a slow-burning jazz-guitar trio meditation, recorded live in California. It ends our mix, appropriately, with a round of applause.
