The trio features masterful guitarist John Scofield at his most freewheeling. “You don’t rely on arrangements as much as the intuitive way we play together. You rely on good playing knowing that there’s no safety net involved. We’re three musicians with a special synergy that unfolds between us.”

In the words of Clive Davis in the New York Post, “The Peking Acrobats® [are] pushing the envelope of human possibility,” defying gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility and control with the festive pageantry of a Chinese carnival.
