Recorded live at William Paterson University's "Jazz Room" concert series in February, 2008, with Coltrane expats Reggie Workman on bass and Rashied Ali on drums, this 2009 Origin Records (Origin 82476) trio release represents my furthest explorations of the "Rubato" concept. Songs include Duke Ellington's "Take The Coltrane," "Soul Bod" a Ron Miller original based on the evergreen "Body and Soul," a Bird composition "Constellation" as well my original balled "Soliloquy" my tribute the passing of my good friend Mike Brecker. "...the most complex, daring, exhilarating music of Galper's career. " - JazzTimes Clearly in the tradition, his keyboard attack is nevertheless somehow brazen, bold and certain..." -Cadence.
