As might be inferred, Three Stories, the disc’s engaging closing track, has a story of its own. The overarching concept of the album is rooted in the four years tenor sax/clarinetist/composer Matt Renzi was out and about (Italy-Kyoto-New York-India), experiencing the world and its diverse musical offerings. For this 13-minute finale, Renzi takes a scrap of tune overhead on a walk through Kyoto, picks up another from a similar excursion through New York’s Lower East Side, and then opens it up to let the trio (David Ambrosio on bass and Russell Meissner of drums) get their groove on in a free improv section before swinging back around to the original tune.
