Billy Lester Trio: Italy 2016

I know there are a few here interested in Lester's work, as part of those who are proponents of the Tristano school.  The album features an Italian trio and is due out on November 3rd.  This was my first time hearing Lester, and am sort of researching the Tristano language, the rhythm section seems to be emulating what the Tristano rhythm sections did, kind of keeping time without heavy ornamentation.  The most interesting track for me is a ballad "Julia" after his daughter which sounds to  like a contrafact on "Body and Soul".
