"Adam Nussbaum and virtuoso bassist Steve Swallow are Jacob's co-equal partners throughout Time Lines. They play with the intuition that long-standing interaction imparts to a unit, as though breathing synchronously, capacious technique never impeding poetic, improvised expression of a song's message. They're a voice, an orchestra of three, every bit up to Ellington's challenge--so basic and so difficult--of imprinting soul on every note."
