  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Bill Evans, Live at the Village Vanguard, 1967 on Riverside

    This is actually a reissue of what originally came out in 1961 (also on Riverside) as Sunday at the Village Vanguard, credited to the Bill Evans Trio “featuring Scott La Faro.” La Faro died in a car accident less than two weeks after the gig was recorded. Evans on piano, La Faro on bass, and Paul Motian on drums. Produced by Orrin Keepnews.

    Not sure why Riverside reissued this credited to just Bill Evans, but happy to find a pressing from the 60s in great shape. An absolute must have.

    My copy via Crossroads Records in Portland OR.

  8. Bill Evans, Polka Dots and Moonbeams, 1967 (aka Bill Evans Trio, Moon Beams, 1962) on Riverside

    This 1967 reissue of the 1962 album Moon Beams (which was credited to the Bill Evans Trio) is credited to Bill Evans and retitled to Polka Dots and Moonbeams – also given a new cover. (The original cover featured Nico, years before her time with the Velvet Underground).

    Personnel here include Chuck Israels on bass and Paul Motian on drums. The original LP was produced by Orrin Keepnews, but this remastering was supervised by Bob Thiele. The original came out a year after Sunday at the Village Vanguard and only three years after Evans played on Kind of Blue.

    My copy via Down in the Valley in Golden Valley MN – in really good shape.

  9. 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.

  10. 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

  16. 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.

  17. “[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.

  18. Keith Jarrett with Charlie Haden, Paul Motian, Dewey Redman - "Birth" (1972)

    The first track (title track) on this record feels like the melancholy end of a holiday, just right for winding down this day.

  20. #BillEvans' Sunday at the Village Vanguard (1961) is a landmark album. Evans' near-telepathic interplay with bassist #ScottLaFaro and drummer #PaulMotian redefined the art of the trio. LaFaro is dazzling: the fact that he died in a car accident 11 days after the recording elevates the performances to legend. The ambient club noise is poignant; the room is tiny. Devastated by LaFaro's death, Evans didn't play again for months--and possibly never fully recovered.
