Paul Motian RIP


Just saw this on another forum
Very sad.
Great body of work. I'm going to play Rarum on ECM. A compilation he put together of his favorite work done on the label.

Had a good long run ...around 35 records as a leader and maybe more as a big contributor. Unlike most it seemed like he never wussed out artistically. Definitely could provide a buzz on par w/ Max Roach, Ed Blackwell and Dannie Richmond.
I never fully appreciated how good a player he really was until I (recently!) "discovered" Tethered Moon. He really shines in this ensemble.
More to discover
