5.0 out of 5 stars Charlie Haden-Montreal Tapes with Gonzalo Rubalcaba, May 16, 2000

This recording is a breakthough album. Even for all three seasoned players. Motian and Haden have always had a way of working their magic into other peoples playing, instead of leading or falling off into silence like many drummers and bassists do. On this recording they do all the interplay of any remarkeable trio, but with virtuosity never before accomplished.Gonzalo is also incredible and adds hauting and gut wrenching beauty and power. This album reaches the high standard only accomplished thus far by a rare set of recordings by the Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett trios. I definitely reccomend this album to anyone with a good ear for piano jazz, or anyone looking to get hooked.

I can't possibly count the number of times I've listened to this CD. The only way it could be topped would be to have been at the live performance. This is as good as it gets in jazz- three master musicians playing with passion, full command of their instruments and a perfect blend of sounds. Haden's SILENCE is one of his signature pieces that has the clarity of a true artist at his most contempletive. Rubalcalba's fire cannot be contained and Motian's solo on Haden's PASIONARIA will pin you back in your seat. Buy it, play it, love it. What more can I say?
