The musical interplay throughout the proceedings is deeply rewarding, and six of the seven tracks are  rst takes. Slocum described the trio, “Somehow, this speci c combination of musical personalities yielded a very organic and, in many ways, unexpected collective energy. While a recording studio can feel like a more sterile environment compared to playing live, I felt the opposite during this session.”

Slocum has been on his own path for many years, unconcerned with anything outside of cultivating, composing and performing music which represents his own artistic aesthetic and vision; music which resonates with and stimulates his fellow musicians; and music that  nds music lovers yearning to hear master musicians in their prime. He has accomplished all of this and more with his new recording, A Revolving Alliance.
