Guitarist Jim Robitaille delivers a focused and elegant trio statement on Sonic, joined by Tom Casale on bass and Chris Poudrier on drums, where interplay and space shape the music as much as melody and harmony. Blending Robitaille’s originals with compositions by Miles Davis and John Coltrane, the group navigates the stripped-down format with ease and synchronicity, while allowing each voice to shine within the ensemble. Robitaille’s phrasing is lyrical and measured, supported by a rhythm section that propels him and the music along. A really nice and engaging work.
