"When the re-edition of past works of an artist has no immediate commercial justification, the motivations of a particular label and the musician himself can only be one of two: to show from where he came from, in order for the listener to compare recent achievements with old developments, or to give a broad perspective of his path as a flux of equally considered ideas and performative realizations, if that same artist dedicated his life to an unified musical vision. This last context explains the re-release of �Interface�, the sold out album recorded live in Coimbra, Portugal, back in 2003, by the now inactive Steve Lehman�s Camouflage Trio. At that time, Lehman was far from the spectral jazz researches of �Travail, Transformation and Flow�, but he was already focused on the principles which brought him to record that masterpiece: to discover in history the premises for the construction of the future, but doing that very much in the �present�. �Interface� follows a still valid concept � it continues, taking it to other consequences, the formulas for the alto sax-double bass-drums trio debuted by the Ornette Coleman Trio and by a band of his special liking, Air (Henry Threadgill, Fred Hopkins and Steve McCall). The enterprise was brilliantly accomplished , and in such a way that the New York saxophonist and composer wouldn�t be able to create something like �Dialectic Fluorescent�, his trio CD from 2012, without that first earthmoving action with Mark Dresser and Pheeroan akLaff. Haven�t you heard it yet? Well, don�t waste more time and get the entire picture."
