Details
The Sydney Morning Herald: "Each of these five albums shone when it appeared. Now assembled into a set, they represent the pinnacle of the past 25 years of US jazz. For at least a decade before Paul Motian's death last year, the great drummer-composer-bandleader was the beacon for what jazz could be in its post-free, post-fusion era, without falling back on neo-bop conservatism or needing an injection of world-music influences. To Motian, the answer was elementary: play with simplicity, truth, instinct, playfulness, passion and imagination. Tell stories and weave dreams. Spurn virtuosity and prescriptive thinking. Play from the heart in the moment and all will fall into place. It does. Across five albums of go-anywhere adventuring anchored to a repertoire of Broadway standards."
Five Stars
November 10, 2012
Frankfurter Allg. Zeitung: "Dies ist eine spektakuläre Winter & Winter-Kassette zu Ehren des 2011 gestorbenen Schlagzeugers Paul Motian, der dem Jazz-Label über Jahrzehnte verbunden war."
June 21, 2013
Leipziger Volkszeitung: "Eine Box wie eine Schatztruhe ist das. Auf fünf CDs, eine schöner als die andere, versammelt sie die zwischen 1988 und 2008 mit wechselnden Quartetten und Quintetten aufgenommenen Adaptionen von Broadway-Songs des großen Jazzschlagzeugers Paul Motian."
November 30, 2012
kulturSpiegel: "'Denkt nicht an die Noten, spielt einfach den Text', instruierte der Drummer seine Musiker. Motian nahm zwischen 1988 und 2008 mit diversen Bands Broadway-Songs auf; die Serie gilt als Beispiel für sensible Destruktion und Rekonstruktion von Melodien …"
January 2013
CHOC Jazzman: "… le batteur aux semelles de terre et aux baguettes de vent a revisité comme dans un doux rêve éveillé ce monument d'immarcescibles beautés mélodiques et harmoniques qu'on appelle le Great American Songsbook. […] Vingt ans de bonheur"
