Background

The concept of the Double Trio was born at Oakland Improvisers Festival in 1990. Saxophonist Larry Ochs was at the festival with his trio Room, with pianist Chris Brown and percussionist William Winant. Spearman was appearing with bassist Ben Lindgren and drummer Donald Robinson. They decided to combine all these players to create the Double Trio.[2]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz	[3]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz says about Spearman "He's a fierce player, overblowing in the upper register and virtually incapable of anything less than full throttle. He never sacrifices sublety to power, though. This is intelligent music that never palls or sound dated."[3]
