Reception
[edit | edit source]John Kelman in All About Jazz gave a four and a half stars to this album saying, "While there are moments of frenetic activity, the overall aesthetic of the album is one of space and the allowance for every instrument to occupy its own layer without ever getting in the way of the others."[1]
In The Jazz Breakfast, Peter Bacon says that Trees of Light is "a gorgeous album" and that "The trio ebbs and flows, breathes and sighs, weaves in and out with a grace and energy as natural as the sea on the shore or the wind in the trees."[3]
