"It sounds simple to say, but the three of us have real creative chemistry together. Chemistry is the difference between just a group of good musicians playing in a room and something magical happening." Tom Rainey

"The longevity of it means something - there's so much life and love in this group. As for the music, it's about the joy of surprise. For some people, the unexpected can make them uncomfortable - for us, it's inspiring." Angelica Sanchez

"There's no leading, no following. We're in the moment together. They even know when I'm going to take a breath - I can feel it." Tony Malaby

A little over 15 years ago, MALABY/SANCHEZ/RAINEY recorded two albums at Barbès: Alive in Brooklyn vol 1 and 2. It’s almost hard to describe their music as being improvised - their chemistry is so extraordinary that the music sounds like it is composed in real time, with no space for narcissistic posturing. Theirs is a true collaborative effort.
