Review

Down Beat (p.74) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "With flotation devices that seem to hang in mid-air, Motian's drumming and arranging style brings new meaning to the musical term rubato."
JazzTimes (p.122) - "[T]he performances are propelled by simple, folklike melodies....As tenor saxophonists Chris Cheek and Tony Malaby lay down synchronous -- and vaguely accordion-toned -- lines, the rest of the music seems to float and drift behind them."

Title Note

Paul Motian Band: Steve Cardenas, Ben Monder, Jacob Bro (electric guitar); Chris Cheek, Tony Malaby (saxophone); Jerome Harris (bass instrument); Paul Motian (drums).

Recording information: Avatar, New York, New York (2004).

The follow-up to I HAVE THE ROOM ABOVE HER, Paul Motian's lauded collaboration with guitarist Bill Frisell and saxophonist Joe Lovano, 2006's GARDEN OF EDEN finds the veteran jazz drummer leading a much larger ensemble through a remarkable set. As with the previous outing, Motian presents inventive covers of tunes by Jerome Kern (a light, gentle take on "Bill") and Thelonious Monk (the shuffling rendition of "Evidence"), but that's where obvious similarities between the two albums end. GARDEN features the unusual lineup of three guitarists, two saxophonists, and a bassist, all intuitively led by Motian's dynamic and dexterous rhythms. A graceful version of Charles Mingus's "Pithecanthropus Erectus" and the dreamy original "Etude" are but two highlights of this unique album, which reinforces Motian's status as one of the most vital figures in early 21st-century jazz.
