ĞLampert's sound is reminiscent of Sonny Rollins. It is robust, rough hewn, stays mostly
in the low and middle registers and embraces the low-end honks and punctuation marks with
which the older player splatters his performances. Lampert's improvising style is less
thematic than that of Rollins, though not entirely dissimilar, and she interacts much more
closely with her colleagues than he does. Her trio is a group of equals, each tuned into
the other two. So interlocked are they that is often impossible to tell when a passage is
pre-composed or collectively improvised. A talented performer who commands attention throughout
the album's nigh on sixty minutes,
Lampert shows at least as great a gift as a composer. It would be interesting to hear her
work on a larger canvas. Meanwhile, this trio album is a debut of which to take serious noteğ. • video •
