Paul Motian / Chris Potter / Jason Moran: Lost In A Dream
by Martin Gladu
Flitting like drunken fireflies, luminescent tones flutter out of a saxophone, tracing capricious, spasmodic lines. In the background, washes of cymbals and softly-brushed snare sweeps weave discretely fine-spun rhythms around a shy piano that is busy rocking drowsy chords to sleep. Fragmented, almost to the point of abstraction, the music nevertheless expands, ebb and flowing placidly ...
Paul Motian / Chris Potter / Jason Moran: Lost in a Dream
by Ted Gordon
Consider this album a blind date of sorts: Drummer Paul Motian-meets-pianist-Jason Moran, introduced by the matchmaker, saxophonist Chris Potter. Though Motian had worked once with Moran in 2006, this collaboration is a stunning example of the versatility and mastery of Motian's veteran technique.

Lost In A Dream, Motian's set of midnight ballads, ...
Paul Motian / Chris Potter / Jason Moran: Lost In A Dream
by Mark Corroto
Drummer Paul Motian makes another stellar recording with his newest trio of pianist Jason Moran and saxophonist Chris Potter. Soon to be eighty, the drummer--who doesn't venture out of Manhattan these days--displays full command over musical expression and emotion on this live recording. It's impossible to listen to Motian's trio work at New York's ...
Paul Motian / Chris Potter / Jason Moran: Lost In A Dream
by John Kelman
Though he's led larger ensembles, drummer Paul Motian seems to be most comfortable--or, at the very least, most interested--in working within the particular confines and freedoms of the trio. Whether it's his quarter century old group with guitarist Bill Frisell and saxophonist Joe Lovano, or the early saxophone/bass/drums trio of Dance (ECM, 1978) and Le Voyage ...
