It remains such a delicate, bluesy and incredible beautiful tune.

New #review today: "Guitarist #WolfgangMuthspiel turns his attention to the influence of Classical music on his life with Etudes / Quietudes. Within the framework of solo pieces for acoustic guitar, he applies aspects of jazz improvisation to the seventeen brief compositions, which are mostly his own but include interpretations of two pieces by #JSBach and #PaulMotian." #ExposeOnline #ClassicalGuitar #JazzGuitar http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/wolfgang-muthspiel-etudes-quietudes-2.html

Jakob Bro & Joe Lovano: Once Around the Room - A Tribute to Paul Motian
When you hear that a band is a guitarist (Bro), sax (Lovano), *three* bass players (Larry Grenadier, Thomas Morgan, and Anders Christensen), and *two* drummers (Joey Baron and Jorge Rossey), it sounds like a recipe for chaos.
Surprisingly, it isn't. I almost wish Frisell was in there too, but, really, as-is it all works.

The Bill Evans Trio - Moon Beams
This 1962 release was from the first sessions recorded after LaFaro passed rather tragically. Retaining Paul Motian (drums), Chuck Israels (bass) replaced him.
It's an interesting comparison with the LaFaro days (Debby/Vanguard/Explorations/Portrait), with Israels less out front, paired more with Motian great brushwork than with Evans.
None of which to say it's not a classic.

To give you an idea of what these albums are like, here's a video of Vinterhymne from December Song:

Jakob Bro - Balladeering
Part one of a trilogy written for Bro (guitar)/Frisell (guitar)/Konitz (sax)/Motian (drums), joined by Ben Street (bass). A beautiful, expressive work.
Motian died shortly after recording this, so he wouldn't continue for the other two (Time / December Song), but his style here is reflected by Jon Christensen's work on Gefion as well.
All three have been recently re-released on Loveland.

Jazztodon artist of the week: Paul Motian! Motian became a professional musician in 1954, and briefly played with pianist Thelonious Monk. He became well known as the drummer in pianist Bill Evans's trio, initially alongside bassist Scott LaFaro and later with Chuck Israels. Subsequently, he played with pianists Paul Bley and Keith Jarrett. Other musicians with whom Motian performed and/or recorded in the early period of his career included Lennie Tristano, Warne Marsh, Lee Konitz, Joe Castro, Arlo Guthrie (including at Woodstock), Carla Bley, Charlie Haden, and Don Cherry. Motian subsequently worked with musicians such as Marilyn Crispell, Bill Frisell, Leni Stern, Joe Lovano, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Alan Pasqua, Bill McHenry, Stéphan Oliva, Frank Kimbrough, Eric Watson and many more.
Later in his career, Motian became an important composer and group leader. From the early 1980s he led a trio featuring guitarist Bill Frisell and saxophonist Joe Lovano.

Again another historical Keith Jarrett recording? Some leftovers from the Deer Head Inn? But don’t be fooled: this is a terrific album! Such a great pleasure to hear him with the incredible Paul Motian on drums. Nobody rides his cymbals like he did.

Aktuell in der HörBar: Jarrett – The Old Country
das Triospiel außerordentlich in Balance, Mood und Interaktion und erzeugt diesen ästhetischen Reichtum, an dem man sich nicht satthören kann. Zugleich versagen sich hier meine Fähigkeiten, in Worte zu fassen, wie hier das Spiel der drei ineinandergreift; so selbstverständlich und doch voller Vielfältigkeit im A

Bill Evans Trio - How my heart sings!
This came out of the first session post-Vanguard/Debbie, after the death of Scott LaFaro, and you can see in the (great) liner notes how much this affected Evans.
That said, this album of upbeat, swinging tunes belies that extratextual sadness to my ears, with Chuck Israels on Bass and Paul Motian on drums…except perhaps on Summertime, which seems perhaps a bit wistful in this rendition.

“[W]hat makes someone draw a picture or make a film comes from the same impulse that makes someone want to write a melody or strum a chord on a guitar. It’s all coming from the same place.” - Bill Frisell
“I’d say there’s great trust that what we are doing is going to work. We believe in each other’s sensibilities, and that allows for a lot of leeway.” - Bill Morrison
Check out our interview with Bill Frisell and Bill Morrison. The two artists will provide a special performance - featuring live interaction of guitar and film- at Roulette Intermedium, intended as a benefit to support the incredible venue, on June 24, 2024.
