Background
The trio came together in the fall of 2011, when Rempis journeyed to the West Coast to discover the Bay Area scene. Trumpeter Johnston, a frequent visitor to Chicago and collaborator of Rempis, suggested this lineup for a performance at Oakland’s Uptown Nightclub. Rempis returned to the Bay Area in the spring of 2012 for two more concerts and a studio session. Spectral was the result of that visit.
Reception
The Down Beat review by Bill Meyer says "They wield the full range—from lush long tones to abrasive cries to percussive pops—to create music that imparts both the thrill of instant creation and the satisfaction of elegant construction."
The All About Jazz review by Eyal Hareuveni notes "The trio anticipates each others' moves to combine sonic sensibilities and patiently accumulate into a coherent, loosely structured piece."
