With Decorating Time‘s only non-original, Gilmore respectfully puts the old love song on giddy shimmering sedatives, with Williams blissing out beyond time, in the spirit of Sunny Murray. Nelson would probably be grinning, while the rest of us wonder where the engagingly idiosyncratic Gilmore will be taking us next.” “****” –Jeff Kallis / All About Jazz“Accustomed to avant garde releases from Ears and Eyes Records, I expected to hear something similar in this case. But I was mistaken. Gilmore’s music, even if it can’t be reduced to isms, would be on the minimalism side, like an instrument directed towards a post-bop foundation. Gilmore plays very simply without the embellishments that many guitarists have abused when demonstrating their technique. Matthew Golombiski, who provided us with the link to Gilmore’s work, compares his performance to Jim Hall and Kurt Rosenwinkel: very flattering comparisons! And the themes Gilmore prefers are simple—sometimes very simple—but they are used to build an improvisation for the entire trio. I must point out that the musicians demonstrate a perfect mutual understanding; they hear each other well, and Gilmore, in turn, leaves enough space for his partners to “decorate” their own patterns in Decorating Time […] The album is very friendly to the listener; anybody can easily enter into Gilmore’s music and surely feel cozy in it.” – Leonid Auskern / Jazz Quadrant (trans by Michelle Slater and Dmitri Sinenko)“An album rich in its vision and executed with avant-garde moments and plenty of innovative jazz exploration, Gilmore, Knowles, and Williams possess a rare chemistry, and the energy that spawns from it is infectious.” –Take Effect Reviews
