There is a really special bond that comes from working together in a concentrated way over an extended period of time. Evan Shaw, Ken Aldcroft, and Joe Sorbara made a great deal of music together over the course of a little more than a decade starting in the early 2000s. This trio was a very natural extension of all they learned from so much time invested in one another's music; time spent playing each other's compositions, investigating each other's ideas, and struggling together to develop a working understanding about what terms like "composition" and "improvisation" might mean and the different ways in which they might be approached.

Remnants, a studio recording of their music documented in 2003 is available from Oval Window Records.
