BuffaloAdam Lane (Bass), Vinny Golia (Tenor Saxophone), Paul Smoker (Trumpet), Vijay Anderson (Drums)In February 2005, Adam Lane's Trio recorded two releases for the CIMP label (#s 325 and 335), collectively and individually still considered to be among the participants' finest work.
After those CIMP sessions, the trio concluded its tour with a performance in Buffalo, NY. At that time they were joined by Paul Smoker and here are the results. It doesn't get better than this.

AntipodesSteuart Liebig (Contrabass Guitar), Vinny Golia (Contralto Clarinet), Billy Mintz (Drums)“Improvised but not random, free but still lyrical, the music here is a journey of joy and rewards.” And, one might add, by three of the finest if not famous.

No TrainSteuart Liebig (Contra Bass Guitar), Vinny Golia (Soprano Saxophone), Billy Mintz (Drums)Steuart Liebig graced the Les McCann group of the mid 1970’s but by the mid ‘90’s was exploring the more open areas of creative inspiration in a series of releases on independent labels. Here he brings his far ranging techniques to an electrifying trio of longtime musical mates in a series of improvisations which should make you re-evaluate the potential for bass guitar in jazz.

Hot and intense, this is a Jazz power trio. Recorded Feb. 24&25, 2005.

Zero Degree MusicAdam Lane, Vinny Golia, Vijay AndersonAdam Lane has quickly established himself as a musician of depth and quality through a small but exceptional group of recordings. And here is another outstanding effort. This is not just a trio: it is three well integrated artists playing music that will satisfy the most demanding listeners. And for fans of Vinny Golia, this is arguably some of his most dynamic sax playing on record. Recorded February 24 & 25, 2005.

Canticles for the New MillenniumJay Rosen, Vinny Golia, Paul Smoker, Mark WhitecageJay Rosen, sensitive and dynamic drummer on many fine CIMP sessions, steps out for his debut as a leader and it's impressive. Leading a bassless quartet made up of some of today's most dymnamic players, he not only lifts and drives some intense music but manages to integrate his dynamics in both a supportive and take-charge way. Rosen with Golia, Smoker, and Whitecage: a gutsy move with wondrous results. Recorded Sept. 1 & 2, 1999.
