Memories in Motian
by Zeno De Rossi
Soon after hearing about Paul Motian's passing (November 22, 2011) I felt the urge to delve (again) into his music. Later on, inspired by a moving writing by Ellery Eskelin (published on his website and reproduced below, by his kind permission), I thought it would have been interesting to collect brief memories from ...

It is a musical fantasy inspired by texts about the universes of dreams and death, commissioned by the VossaJazz Festival and recorded live at the festival's opening day in March 2012.

Gary Peacock – Marilyn Crispell: Azure
by AAJ Italy Staff
Inevitabilmente prosciugato dell'apporto di Paul Motian, col quale la pianista di Filadelfia e il bassista dell'Idaho ci avevano accolto a inizio decennio col bellissimo, per più versi persino sorprendente Amaryllis, il trio di allora si rigenera oggi in questo prezioso, raffinatissimo album in duo, inciso a New York nel febbraio di due anni fa. Dividendosi con ...
Gary Peacock / Marilyn Crispell: Azure

AVC: Busk
by Karl Ackermann
The UK label Babel has been nurturing unique talent for the better part of twenty years, judiciously releasing only about a half-dozen albums in a given year. Many of their artists play on the fringes of jazz and some go way beyond the pale. AVC are hardly outliers but neither is the quintet a predictable, formulaic ...
Paul Motian: Paul Motian (Old & New Masters Edition)
by John Kelman
In a time when leadership roles are being thrust increasingly upon young musicians who may have the chops, the technique and the theory, but not the experience, drummer Paul Motian could be considered a lesson in patience, in waiting for the right time, in holding off for the precise moment of readiness.It's not that ...
Alexander Hawkins: Retaining The Sense of Discovery
by John Sharpe
One of the fastest-rising stars of the UK jazz scene, pianist Alexander Hawkins is remarkable in that he shines equally in both the further reaches of free improvisation and the creation of ingeniously crafted charts. Indeed, Hawkins' particular talent might be in bringing the two so close that it's hard to distinguish between them. At times ...
