| | Trio M Big Picture CD Trio M Discography of CDs
Trio M: Mark Dresser (bass guitar); Matt Wilson , Myra Melford. Personnel: Myra Melford (piano); Matt Wilson (drums). Liner Note Authors: Myra Melford; Mark Dresser; Matt Wilson . Recording information: Acoustic recording Studios, Brooklyn, NY (12/18/2006). Photographer: Michael Thomas Jackson. Pianist Myra Melford, bassist Mark Dresser, and drummer Matt Wilson perform seven intriguing originals on this CD. To simplify the improvising a bit, it hints strongly in spots of Cecil Taylor, the percussiveness of Don Pullen, and of Keith Jarrett's '70s inside/outside music without sounding like a copy of any of those predecessors. The interplay between the three musicians is consistently exciting and, while Melford is the main soloist, Dresser has some spots on bowed bass while Wilson's supportive contributions should not be overlooked. The performances are consistently unpredictable, drawing upon much of jazz history of the past 40 years while creating new and fresh music. This set grows in interest with each listen and contains some of Melford's finest playing to date. ~ Scott YanowDown Beat (p.72) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The ever-adaptable Wilson wryly draws the humor out of his compatriots' playing, particularly on the throbbing, percussive 'Free-Konomics'..." JazzTimes (p.136) - "Dresser's 'Modern Pine,' like everything from Trio M, is arcane and constantly transforming. It is also downright catchy." Big Picture Review

Big Picture
$14.59 Personnel: Erik Friedlander (cello); Andy Laster (alto saxophone); Stomu Takeishi (bass); Satoshi Takeishi (percussion). Recorded at Context Studio, New York, New York on January 15 & 16, 2002. Personnel: Erik Friedlander (cello); Andy Laster (alto saxophone); Stomu Takeishi (acoustic bass, electric bass, bass guitar); Satoshi Takeishi (percussion). Audio Mixer: Rich Breen . Recording information: Context Studio, New York, NY (01/15/2002/01/16/2002). Editors: Erik Friedlander; Rich Breen . Photographer: Lee Melen. On Quake, downtown cello boss Erik Friedlander teams up with Japan's fraternal rhythm section the Takeishi brothers (Stomu and Satoshi on bass and drums, respectively) as well as alto saxophonist Andy Laster for a date of intimate, knotty new jazz. In working with an electric bassist in this setting, the opportunities for unique tonalities are everywhere and are exploited to some degree as they were on an earlier work, The Watchman. Over the years, however, Friedlander has become a composer ...

| | Paul Motian I Have The Room Above Her CD (2005)
Big Picture
$13.69 Personnel: Paul Motian (drums); Paul Motian; Bill Frisell (guitar); Joe Lovano (tenor saxophone). Recording information: AVATAR Studio, NY (04/2004). Photographer: Robert Lewis . The sum total of the nuanced, elliptical lyricism at the heart of Paul Motian's compositional method can be heard in the opening seconds of "Osmosis Part III," the first track from I Have the Room Above Her. Recorded for ECM -- with producer Manfred Eicher, guitarist Bill Frisell and saxophonist Joe Lovano -- this date is Motian's first as a leader for the label in more than 20 years. This is the same team that recorded the seminal album It Should've Happened a Long Time Ago in 1984. At that time, Lovano and Frisell were just beginning to establish themselves as bandleaders though they had each recorded under their own names. The weight placed on each member of this band is tremendous since standard rhythmic and harmonic anchors such as bass and piano are absent. Instead, melody, spatial dynamics and a sense of expressionistic harmony become the triad on which these group interactions are built. Motian's tunes dominate the set and rightfully ...
