 (3 Customer Reviews)
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. ... Full DescriptionAs 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.
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).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."

The delicate imbrication of parts lends these compositions the feel of fragile, shifting houses suspended in air. Motian's drumming is crucial to this aesthetic--light years beyond standard beat-keeping, his approach to time is all suggestion and evocative accent. Aside from the Hammerstein/Kern title track and a sweet, ethereal take on Thelonious Monk's "Dreamland," all the tunes were written by Motian, his rich imagination informed by classic jazz, post-bop, avant-garde, and ambient music alike. The silent partner here is producer ...

Garden Of Eden music CDs
$83.65
Contains previously unreleased material. Some of the recordings on the CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS were originally released in edited form on the 1971 double-LP LIVE EVIL.
There is an entire universe contained in this box. Sumptuously packaged and scrupulously annotated, CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS 1970 is a six-disc set that documents Miles Davis's extended residency at the Washington, D.C., club. Davis is backed by a group of genius musicians: keyboardist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Michael Henderson, saxophonist Gary Bartz, percussionist Airto Moreira and guitarist John McLaughlin (who appears only on the last two discs). Together they pioneered an ecstatic fusion of jazz, rock, funk, and abstract sound-painting that established the blueprint for the future of progressive music.
Each disc contains a different live set, and while songs are often repeated across the set lists, no two tracks sound the same. The players improvise at a fever-pitch, pushing themselves to endless invention, and the ensemble's interplay--expressionistic, protean, and fierce--is near telepathic. The influence of rock artists like Sly Stone and Jimi Hendrix can ...

On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended ...
