Akinmusire shares Miles' belief that less is more. He called this beautiful trio album Owl Song because his favourite birds' cool occupancy of their world mirrors this project's search for space and precious time in a clamorous human habitat.
In the cannily timed swapping of paired figures with single tones on Weighted Corners or the unison ascents and descents of trumpet and guitar on Grace, this music is close to minimalism, but its palette embraces much more.
