Perpetual Motian (Los Angeles)
Derek Bomback - guitar
Alexander Vogel - saxophones
Alan Cook-drums - percussion

Perpetual Motian was created to honor and celebrate the life and legacy of the late great Paul Motian, and the immensity of his contributions to the world of creative music. His uniquely individual voice, as a drummer and composer, lay at the heart of every ensemble he led or was a part of. Perpetual Motian seeks to build upon the incredibly high standards he set throughout his career. The trio harnesses the individual improvisatory strengths of its members and channels them through Motian's compositional genius to create a substantially greater whole.
