Bynum cites Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor and Bill Dixon—all of whom he has
worked with—as affecting this music, but those, or any amalgam of influences,
are not as apparent as the composer's own approach. There may not be a formal
narrative holding the material together, but there are linked ideas where the
initial outlines are analyzed and turned inside-out as the album
progresses. Bynum doesn't overload the concept, letting the group distinguish
themselves through their individual and collective interpretations.
