Acolytes all of the late

Paul Motian
drums1931 - 2011
From the impressionistic resonance of "As It Should Be" emerges "Sound Creation," a collective improvisation that seances Motian's thrill for spontaneity. It's an orchestral meander, each player regarding the other, waiting on the other to complete his thought and then add his own. "For the Love of Paul," one of Lovano's more evocative invocations of the larger power, moves forward on Baron and Rossy's roiling and Christensen's undertow into a keening conversation between the two main players. Grenadier and Morgan then highlight the track with an intuitive call and response of their own.
Reminiscent of Lovano's many sessions with Motian and guitarist
