Guitarist Jakob Bro and tenor saxist Joe Lovano give a tribute to the highly inspiring drummer Paul Motian on this mix and match session with bassists Larry Grenadier, Thomas Morgan and Anders Christensen and drummers Joey Baron or Jorge Rossy. No one tries to imitate Motian, which would be insultingly ridiculous, but the tribute is felt, at the drums loosely guid guiar and tenor on the intuitive “As It Should Be” and the beat floats and hovers under Lovano’s tenor and reflective guitar on “Pause”. There are abstract declarations on the bluesy and post modern “Sound Creation” and the pulse delicately gets reverent on “Song To An Old Friend”, while things get frisky and aggressive when Lovano switches to taragato on the ascerbic “Drum Music”. Rhythms that are felt like a jogger’s pulse.
