" the pianist's elegant musings evolve like a lived-in winter's day. A squall here, a flurry there. But they never leave you cold like some artisans. Taubenhouse's (and the trio's) peculiar circle drawings come at an impressionist's pace, with an infectious, homegrown classicism that gives his seven originals, such as 'Morning Night,' 'Rush Hour Traffic,' 'Blue Forest' instant notability. " – Mike Jurkovic, All About Jazz
"Taubenhouse is, above all, a seductive pianist. He pursues lavish beauty unashamedly. For him, technical elements serve emotional, spiritual, and atmospheric purposes" - Thomas Conrad, JazzTimes
" One of the best trio jazz albums I've heard in the last year. " - Ivan Rod, www.ivanrod.dk
" Volume Three: Roads presents another chapter in the sophisticated, refined and adventurous interactions that characterized Moments in Trio Volume Two. The musical drawings of Taubenhouse and his trio are a musical world of diverse colors, in which you immerse yourself as a one-time experience: old and new merge elegantly. The playing is superbly polished, tight and stylish. " - Yosi Hersonski, YosMusic
" this moment in trio combines the adventurous spirit of the earlier dates with a new found perspective, brought forth by meticulous performances all around. With sophistication and confidence, the three offer a fresh batch of inventive originals and a triplet of tasty standards to top it off . . . Many instances spread across the program display similar agility and illustrate the players' impeccable chemistry—surely owed to many years of collaboration within a permanent lineup . . . Whatever Taubenhouse's future projects may entail, one can only hope this formation remains among them and that the pianist's trio can continue to push the envelope forward, build on their shared experience and carry on cultivating a language that's becoming more fluent with each album.
