Bassist Mario Pavone spent much of the 1990s playing with alto saxophonist and composer Thomas Chapin's trio, keeping pace with the leader's active, kinetic imagination by playing his instrument with fleet power. When Chapin succumbed to leukemia in 1998, Pavone knew better than most what a tremendous loss this was for jazz. Pavone's homage to Chapin, oddly enough, is without a saxophonist in sight. Pianist Peter Madsen shows off the clarity and energy of Chapin's compositional side, sticking closely to the late saxophonist's delight in tuneful melodies and then playing fast, tight solos with Pavone and drummer Matt Wilson punching their way feverishly along. --Andrew Bartlett
