Guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel's first album for ECM Records was Driftwood in 2014, a trio recording with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Brian Blade.

[1] For the following Rising Grace, trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire and pianist Brad Mehldau were added.

[1] For Where the River Goes, Eric Harland replaced Blade on drums in the quintet.

Its seemingly effortless conversation sets a new bar for this group going forward.
