 This small masterpiece of 'free britannico' was released in 1978 on Graham Collier's independent label Mosaic [...] After thirty years this trio's performance is as powerful as ever and, owing to the remastering, Wakeman's tenor sounds even more ferocious and razor-edged. The rhythm section provided by Bridge and Morris is equally impressive: they fill in every small space left available by the soloist, creating a richness of light and shade which adds tension to the improvisation. Review by Claudio Bonomi in MUSICA JAZZ, July 2012 Listen to samples: | TRITON Personnel: Alan WAKEMAN (tenor and soprano saxophones) Paul BRIDGE (double bass) Nigel MORRIS (drums)

Any reader with a taste for thoughtful modern jazz should give this a try. Barry McRae -Jazz Journal
A music that wrestles with the universe. Robin Bynoe - Records and Recording
Driving post-Coltrane stuff – and it’s very good indeed. Brian Case - New Musical Express
Needs many adjectives to describe its force. It is powerfully moving and often reaches those ‘highs’ which can only be described as joyous . Godfrey Talbot - View
