Paul Motian: Time and Time Again

Read "Time and Time Again" reviewed by John Kelman


One sax, one guitar, one set of drums. Who could imagine that such a spare combination could sound so rich, so complete? Drummer Paul Motian's collaboration with guitarist Bill Frisell and saxophonist Joe Lovano is well into its third decade together but, instead of settling into comfortable predictability, Time and Time Again finds the trio continuing ...

Paul Motian: Time And Time Again

Read "Time And Time Again" reviewed by J Hunter


Of all the things that make me hold my head about Jazz at Lincoln Center, the most ridiculous item showed up in an article on the first year in their new digs, Frederick Rose Hall. In a section on J@LC's organizational mindset, an unnamed staffer reportedly dissed Paul Motian as a drummer because, “He doesn't swing. ...

Gordon Grdina / Gary Peacock / Paul Motian: Think Like The Waves

Read "Think Like The Waves" reviewed by Nic Jones


We should always be grateful for music that's greater than the sum of its parts, and here's a case in point: a guitar trio that covers a whole lot of ground in celebrating the timeless virtues of subtle, intuitive interplay--and celebrates the eternal joy of conclusively making its point without raising its collective voice.
