Nicole Glover has been getting some well-deserved exposure as a side-person recently but this tenor saxophonist is best appreciated on her own albums, where she fronts a saxophone-bass-drums trio. Glover’s trio features a special guest on the recording is vibes master, Steve Nelson, of whom Glover says, “He’s incredible to work with because he is just a phenomenal musician… He enhances everything he is a part of.” This foundation provides two streams of sound (three with the vibes) beneath Glover’s improvisations, allowing her complete freedom to be lyrical or driving as she chooses while maintaining the aural identity of the ensemble.
