Clarinetist Chris Speed is well known for his tireless work with a handful of ensembles in New York's downtown avant-jazz scene, including Bloodcount, Myra Melford's Same River, Twice, and the Dave Douglas Sextet. Here he teams with drummer Chris Cheek and bassist Stephane Furic Leibovici for a collection of tunes composed by Leibovici. There are traces of gypsy music, free jazz, and post-bop here, but what stands out is the empathetic interplay among the trio in the creation of this spacious, haunting, and quite beautiful music.
Critic Reviews

Signal To Noise (magazine) (p.69) - "JUGENDSTIL has the sense of ethereal stillness that marked Giuffre's early '60s group, as Leibovici's bass rises into the ether alongside Chris Speed's clarinet lines and Cheek's sax licks."
