Guy Berger Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 For what it's worth, I spoke to Motian briefly while he was autographing the CD and he said he really liked it. He seemed somewhat taken aback by my suggestion that they release a second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I finally picked this up yesterday and give it a couple listens. Very good stuff. This is my first time hearing Chris Potter and ... I'll just say that I need to listen more to get a better sense of his contribution. On first glance he does seem a bit dull, but I'm open to the notion that further listening with reveal more tact and complexity in his playing. It's wonderful to hear Moran play such subdued music, he can be such a lyrical player, something it's easy to forget on his leader dates, where I think his Andew Hill influence predominates. As far as Motian being undermiked, I disagree. I've heard recordings where he's way overmiked (Charlie Haden's Montreal Tapes comes to mind) and it doesn't suit him. I think it's his unique ability to dominate this music at such a volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LWayne Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Me three. Might be the front-runner for best CD of the year (between this CD, Frank Kimbrough, and Jason Moran CDs) LWaynw Edited September 26, 2010 by LWayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
