“ The tenor / bass / drums Trio has a special `lace inside the Jazz Pantheon. Each combination of personalities creates its own world of music within itself. As a tenor-man myself, I understand the complexities and dynamics of this amazing forum of expression. Odean’s years playing in a piano-less quartet with Max Roach has served him well and gives ODEAN’S THREE its rich foundations. Each tune unravels in its own unique way and leaves me wanting more.” - Joe Lovano 2012
