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.

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

Personnel: Paul Motian (drums); Jakob Bro, Steve Cardenas, Ben Monder (guitar); Chris Cheek, Tony Malaby (saxophone).

Recording information: Avatar Studios, New York, NY (11/2004).

Photographer: Robert "RX Lord" Lewis.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."

Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

5 stars Highly Recommended
Gorgeous music. Languid, lyric ensemble performances. Few solos but wonderful moments emerging organically from the group. Rich, hauting sound comprised of electric bass, drums two tenor saxophones and three electric guitars. Magnificent. Motian is a treasure. Get this one and get Motian's "I Have the Room Above Her" from 2005 with Joe Lovano and Bill Frisell. Indespensible music from among the very best of small groups.

5 stars Best Jazz of 2006 ( so far )
Incredible performances on this recording. Motions drums are mixed so clearly, you hear every nuance. Not enough can be said of this band and in particular, Ben Monder and Chris Potter. If you consider yourself a fan of 21 st century jazz, you should own this recording.

4 stars Good background jazz
Lots of movement, a bit repetitive, but perfect for setting the scene.

This exceptional date by Dave Holland Big Band was recorded in 2002 in New York, yet remained unreleased until 2005. As is to be expected, Holland assembled a fine cast of seasoned and young players, some of whom are veterans of Holland's quintets and quartets. These are four saxophones -- two alto, tenor and baritone -- three trumpets and trombones, and vibes as well as bass and drums. They include Chris Potter and Robin and Duane Eubanks, Antonio Hart, Steve Nelson, Josh Roseman, Billy Kilson, Taylor Haskins, Gary ...

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).

Trio Beyond is the name of the group that played at Queen Elizabeth's Hall in London, 2004. Jack DeJohnette initiated a project to pay tribute to the late Tony Williams' Lifetime -- with the late Larry Young on organ and guitarist John McLaughlin, all three were Miles alumni -- a band that, along with the Miles Davis band, spearheaded the jazz-rock fusion era. DeJohnette replaced Williams in the Davis group, and John Scofield is also a Miles alumnus; Larry Goldings had been approached by Williams in 1997 to put together an organ trio with a similar concept to Lifetime; Williams passed away shortly ...

Members: Nikodeamus, Scumboy, DJ Technical & Burlin.Three MC's and one DJ rippin the heart out on the so often rotten music business and everyone else we come across. "Can you say hiphop?" "Tonight I went off the grid again to hear my good friend Nik aka DJ Technical and his group that he backs up called DCP @ Mosebacke in soder. It was great to hear hip hop in its raw stage. These cats were just killing it. Giving it that sound from the 90's and no electro beats. Just rapers with thier DJ. It was great to hear them and the flow and beats. Think Young Black Teenagers and House of Pain when they were both hungry for the music! I will keep my eyes and ears open for thes guys again! Well its back to the grid tomorrow! See you all at RAW and then Village!" -Baby J "For extremely high levels of self awerness in ...
