2015 release with Luis Perdomo, Yasushi Nakamura, Rudy Royston and ft. Tom Harrell
Jakob Bro & Joe Lovano “As It Should Be” from Once Around The Room – A Tribute To Paul Motian (ECM)
A deeply felt and utterly original homage to a common inspiration and beloved colleague – the late, great drummer-composer Paul Motian – Once Around the Room is also the first album co-led by the Danish guitarist Jakob Bro and US saxophonist Joe Lovano. Bro conceived of a special band for the project, convening what Lovano calls “a mini orchestra” for the Copenhagen studio session, which took place 10 years to the date since Motian died in 2011, at age 80. The textured septet features three bassists (Larry Grenadier and Thomas Morgan each on double-bass, plus Anders Christensen on bass guitar) and two drummers (Joey Baron and Jorge Rossy), all players who have worked together in various combinations as well as recorded for the label in recent years. Along with two Motian-influenced originals each by Bro and Lovano, Once Around the Room includes a group improvisation and an especially dynamic rendition of a vintage Motian composition: “Drum Music.” The previous ECM work by both of the co-leaders has been widely praised, with The New Yorker declaring that “Lovano can render a musical phrase into a poem”, and DownBeat noting that “Bro’s guitar is luminous… his music both hypnotic and dramatic.”
Gebhard Ullman The Chicago Plan
Saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist and composer Gebhard Ullmann is celebrating his 65th birthday with three wildly exploratory and staggeringly diverse new releases. At an age where many are looking forward to retirement, the indefatigable Berlin-based musician continues to strike out in new directions, Two of them are available now and one is coming in the new year. One of two releases on November 4. The Chicago Plan, a transatlantic quartet co-led by the saxophonist and trombonist Steve Swell with Windy City mainstays Fred Lonberg-Holm on cello, electronics and Michael Zerang on drums, releases its second album, For New Zealand, via NotTwo Records
