I purchased this on itunes and have listened to many times over the last several days. This is a slight departure from his other trio recordings which were  for lack of a better word more jazzy whereas this album seems to be more in the fusion camp. I hate to use labels because labels are for Mayonaise, not music but this new recording is more ethereal and the influence of Allan Holdsworth comes through quite clearly. Tim is one of the seminal players of this generation. There is nobody out there doing what he does. Sure, he's got the Holdsworthian, legato feel going but so do a thousand other guys. What separates Tim Miller's playing is that his time feel and groove are so locked in. And harmonically, he is a jazz musician, despite what genre he is playing in. His command of the harmonic structures and superimposition of tonalities over the written structures of the tunes make him stand out in a way that places him at the pinnicle of creative guitar playing. Yet, at times he just rocks out and is not purely an intellectual player. He has it all, groove, feel, note choices and emotion and YES, intellect. Whether you love great guitar or want to capture what I feel is a pedologically important milestone in the guitar evolution. http://www.timmillermusic.com/trio-vol-3/
