The collective ensemble of Jeff Cosgrove/drums, Ivo Perelman/saxophone, and Matthew Shipp/piano showcase improvisation and spontaneous composition of the highest magnitude.  These musicians delight in exploring the unknown and pushing the boundaries to where their music can extend.  The group’s collective thought, Live In Baltimore (Leo Records), captures their spirit for creating a complete story from their unique, conversational, and personal perspective.
