Reception
Allmusic stated it was "A must-have for lovers of this kind of spontaneous composition; this is not so much a throwback to the '60s as a modern update, and a welcome one indeed". For All About Jazz, music critic Robert Iannapollo said, "Trio Arc is a disc of music as timeless and innovative as only a piano trio can be".Iannapollo, I., All About Jazz Review, June 13, 2008 On the same site Troy Collins called it "A modern classic, Trio Arc is a superlative and timeless example of free improvisations".Collins, T., All About Jazz Review, June 3, 2008 JazzTimes reviewer Steve Greenlee wrote, "Their jazz is free but with rhythm and a sense—a hint—of swing. This feeling of tethered freedom pervades Pavone’s excellent new record, which reunites him with his old comrade Bley on their first recording together in 35 years ... It is a beautifully odd amalgam of sounds, and it leaves the listener wanting more".Greenlee, S., JazzTimes Review, August 2008
