Paul Motian – Dance (ECM, 1978)

Paul Motian (d); Charles Brackeen (ts, ss); David Izenzon (b)

Recorded in September 1977

Reissued as part of Paul Motian: Old and New Masters (ECM) in 2013


This is my favorite Paul Motian record, bar none.

Everything works perfectly.

  1. A+++. Paul Motian led so many great ECM sessions but his earliest work with Brackeen instead of Lovano is more interesting and engaging. David Izenzon was part of Ornette Coleman's trio in the wonderful Golden Circle sessions in the 1960s. The music here is fresh and engaging on multiple levels. This is ECM at its best. Love it!
