Guy Berger Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 According to Alan L's site, this is coming out on Feb 8. Guy Quote
sal Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 Sounds interesting. Has anyone heard any of the other work this trio has done? I'm completely unfamiliar. Sounds like the music would be somewhat eclectic (not a bad thing!). Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 have heard some earlier work by this unusual group. have liked same, will have to think about it before saying anything more... Quote
jlhoots Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 I have a late 80's Soul Note CD by this trio. It is, at least, interesting. Wonder what they'll sound like together 18 years later. Quote
fkimbrough Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 This is my favorite working band on the planet - they've been doing the trio for twenty years, and have recorded for ECM, Soul Note, JMT and Winter&Winter. I've heard them at the Vanguard many times, and at their most recent gig there a few months ago, as always, I was delighted to hear their mix of Motian's originals, Monk, and standards. I'll be at the record store when they open the doors on Feb. 8. Quote

RDK Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 I think I have all their JMT releases... and they're all terrific. I hope the new ECM is as good (I've been quite disappointed with the ECM's I've heard of late). Quote
skeith Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 This is my favorite working band on the planet Mine too. They have done so many great recordings. Sadly a bunch are out of print, like Trioism. I Love the Bill Evans tribute record. they are great live! Quote
Green Dolphin Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 (edited) I'm with Frank & Skeith...great that these three are still playing together...got my pre-order in yesterday!The Vanguard first live album on JMT shades it over the others for me.I always feel too that Lovano is at his best in this group...and as for Motian...the guys a phenomenon,long may he prosper. Saw them over here about 8 years ago...come back!!! p.s.sorry to gloat,but it's out a week Monday here Edited January 20, 2005 by Green Dolphin Quote
Guest akanalog Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 really? i have disliked them live. lovano and motian seem to me, to be the epitome of aloof white guys playing jazz- wearing their sunglasses in the dark village vanguard and playing their cold unconnecting music. i have heard just bout everything by this trio-i like "it should have happened a long time ago" but otherwise-not crazy about this group. i think it brings out the worst in all the players.

fkimbrough Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 One of the most annoying things about being on a stage with bright lights in your face is one's inability to see the audience - maybe sunglasses help them to see the folks they're playing for by blocking the light a bit. Lovano is one of the most magnanimous, larger-than-life human beings I know, Frisell's a bit shy, but a great, generous guy; and though it's easy to think of Motian as aloof, he's a warm, funny man. And what the hell does race have to do with it? These guys are all master musicians whether considered as a trio or individually, and they certainly don't need me to defend them - their 20+ year body of work speaks for itself. The above post is a perfect example of "listening with the eyes". At least I'll give Akanalog credit for hearing "just about everything" by a group that "brings out the worst in all its players". I'd never bother to do that.......... Quote
Guy Berger Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Posted January 25, 2005 By the way, for anyone who's interested -- someone recently posted a show on easytree of this trio, plus guests Lee Konitz and Marc Johnson, doing standards. It's outstanding, especially the interplay between Joe and Lee. Guy Quote

SNWOLF Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 I love their trio outings. I've bought most of their commercially available material, and I've got a bootleg that I cherish. They're relaxed and friendly, without it becoming a smug and tedious mutual admiration society. That's really hard to pull off, and they do it with a sound that's light and open yet rich with subtext. Quote

Nate Dorward Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 You have such a vivid imagination. Quote
John B Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 I've asked B3-er to delete or edit that asinine post. If he does, could anyone who has quoted it also please delete it from their post? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 Already took care of it. Aric, you're getting awful close to being a very special type of member. One who gets his name in red! Quote
JSngry Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 Geez, I don't even know what an eightball is... Quote
skeith Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I am breaking with that fine Organissimo tradition of having tons of posts anticipating a new release or reissue and then none or next to none after it comes out. I got this one and I love it! So there!! Quote
Green Dolphin Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Yep,it's a beauty-Eicher's captured the band better here than he did on "It Should've Happened..." too.This one won't be filed away for quite some time Quote
fkimbrough Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Lovin' it here, too.............. Quote
Dmitry Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I cought that band at the Vanguard last Spring. Tremendous show! I'll probably pick up this new cd too. Quote
Guy Berger Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Posted February 12, 2005 You guys are killing me! I pre-ordered this from DeepDiscount, hoping they would ship it a few days early (as most other places do). Unfortunately they didn't ship it until WEDNESDAY which means I won't hear it until next week. Guy Quote
