Recorded on 24/07/2021 in Buenos Aires, Argentine.  In Argentina, improvised music or free music (here, choose the label you like) is not something new. As early as the mid-sixties, Juan Carlos Cáceres, fine arts student, pianist and trombonist left his sound experiments recorded. Thus the scene, fed by musicians who come from free improvisation, jazz and even rock, has developed strongly in the last twenty years. In this context, Osvaldo La Porta, Darío Dolci and Omar Grandoso are, at the same time, part and reference of that evolution.  In this album, which brings them together for the first time in a studio, they reflect the energy accumulated after just over a year of confinement, without shows, without rehearsals, without live music, as a result of the restrictions due to COVID-19. So much so that their last concert together was given on the day the pandemic was declared worldwide, March 11, 2020. This album addresses it, in some way, from the origin of its title.  How free of composition can Jazz be, the music which  bases its origin on improvisation? The answer to the question possibly is in this completely improvised record, where Dolci, La Porta and Grandoso work developing the ideas and proposals from that last concert.  This suite is divided in 'phases', perhaps evoking the phases imposed by the government. These mandatory confinements still bring us feelings of anger, fear and uncertainty. The energy contained in this music explores those individual worlds, seeking to evolve them in new ways.  The resulting sound is not only the intertwining of instruments, Darío, Osvaldo and Omar also complement each other, weaving textures, creating solos, moments, giving personal visions; to give shape to this singular album, the result of an 'abstinence syndrome'.
