Editorial Reviews
Chris Macias, Sacramento Bee, April 16, 2004
"...there are just enough members to create intricate musical interplay, but the space remains fairly uncluttered."
Product Description
The second release from the Ross Hammond Trio. With bassist Gerry Pineda and Drummer Tom Monson, the three create organic sounds from Bop to 12-tone music. Optimism was recorded in a single afternoon in engineer Chema Salinas’ living room. The recording was made live, and mixed directly into a laptop. There were no overdubs or multiple takes. Regarding the recording, Hammond states, "the idea I had was to simply capture the sound of the trio when we play live. I suppose I’d call it a very honest recording."
