As a percussionist and a composer, Paul Motian was a major force in the creative American music known as "jazz." For half a century, from 1954 to 2005, he worked with a wide range of innovators in rethinking the connections between rhythmic pulse and improvised melodies. His collaborations read like a who's who of the path-breaking improvisers, including Thelonius Monk, Bill Evans, Paul Bley, Keith Jarrett, Charlie Haden, Don Cherry, and Bill Frisell. Since his death in 2011, there has been a wave of posthumous releases of his work. Whether you are a devotee of Motian's work or just curious, join us as three distinguished and creative local musicians bring a selection of his compositions to life.
