What first strikes in this Trio's contemporary reality is the fact that they play extremely well, but they also have in mind a precise feeling for balance, from the exquisitely musicological and philosophical viewpoint. Time taught understanding to the three members of Melodrum; they were given the idea of elaborating that very concept of a compositional and performative balance which their research was analyzing. 'The Man, The Earth, The Sky' is precisely the summary of that research. The result is a CD demonstrating a seldom-found maturity, capable of purposefully presenting the intense and possible relationship between spirituality and music. In order not to get lost in such a field, the Trio wisely relies on mainstream jazz, and on what has been learnt and digested, later to stretch its wings and fly beyond the fence, into the territories mentioned a few lines earlier.
