Digital Booklet

"Sclavis's affection for North African music is still clear in some of these stately collective dances and lament-like unison themes, but the trio sound is transformed by guitarist Coronado's biting solos and edgy metallic chord work ... (confirms) how freely Sclavis's imagination still runs. It's sometimes post boppish, sometimes folksy, sometimes abstractly funky ..."
- The Guardian
"... paradoxically familiar and filled with the kind of surprise upon which the fearless composer/improviser has built his reputation. The trio context provides more inherent space, despite the potential for guitar and keyboards to create denser aural landscapes ... even in its most scored moments, Sources is predicated on the freedom of expression that's been a cornerstone of Sclavis's entire career. Here, however, even the clarinetist's renowned unpredictability is trumped by a collective sound like no other, one that searches for (and finds) a new paradigm of contemporary improvised chamber music ... another milestone in Sclavis's consistently impressive discography."
- All About Jazz
Clarinetist Louis Sclavis leads his Atlas Trio on this eclectic collection of songs encompassing chamber improvisation, polyrhythmic grooves, minimalistic pulse patterns, enveloping ambience, rhapsodic piano and funky Fender Rhodes from Benjamin Moussay, distorted guitar, clarinet soliloquies, contrapuntal themes and free group playing: really a bit of everything. An open form aesthetic applies in this multifaceted music, simultaneously exploratory and involving. The album contains all-original Sclavis compositions except for the final number, contributed by the trio's electric guitarist Gilles Coronado.
