Farmers By Nature is the phenomenal trio of drummer Gerald Cleaver, bassist William Parker, and pianist Craig Taborn. Each are internationally renowned master musicians-improvisers-composers-leaders. When they work together as Farmers By Nature, it is as a complete improvising musical collective; all of their meetings are auspicious and rewarding events which reveal their intrinsic focus on narrative arc. “FBN is a band that takes seriously its mission to communicate to listeners, even though there is not a compromise in sight. The group move as one", wrote PopMatters' Will Layman on the their previous album, 2011’s Out of This World’s Distortions. “Their chemistry is evident from the first notes." added Marc Medwin in The New York City Jazz Record, and Chicago Reader's Peter Margasak noted, "It's a cliche that good improvised music doesn't sound improvised, but it more than applies here.”
