TRIBUTE TO PAUL MOTIAN (1931 - 2011) 11

This is the eleventh album of a 15 series, giving a beautiful view of the career of one of the greatest drummers in jazz

2001 - Marilyn Crispell - Amaryllis (with Paul Motian & Gary Peacock)

“Breaking with free-jazz tradition that equates creativity with velocity, pianist Marilyn Crispell carves chords into silence on this trio session with the patient deliberation of a monk planting stones in a Zen garden. The pedigree of her bandmates is impeccable: drummer Paul Motian embarked on his career playing with Bill Evans, and Gary Peacock has held forth in the influential Keith Jarrett Trio since 1977. Majestic and quietly affirming, "Amaryllis" blends Crispell's interpretations of landmark Peacock and Motian tunes "Conception Vessel" and "Voice from the Past" with group improvisations so telepathic they sound composed. Crispell and her bandmates plumb the sacramental stillness of the classic Evans trios with an angularity and poise that is all their own.”  Stephen Silberman, writer, Wired Magazine
