Jakob Bro & Joe Lovano: Once Around the Room - A Tribute to Paul Motian

When you hear that a band is a guitarist (Bro), sax (Lovano), *three* bass players (Larry Grenadier, Thomas Morgan, and Anders Christensen), and *two* drummers (Joey Baron and Jorge Rossey), it sounds like a recipe for chaos.

Surprisingly, it isn't. I almost wish Frisell was in there too, but, really, as-is it all works.

Jakob Bro & Joe Lovano: Once Around the Room - A Tribute to Paul Motian LP cover.

A foggy night, black and white, with a two-story building to the right, and a power line to the left. There are birds on the lines, and other buildings can be seen through the fog.

The black LP plays on a vintage, restored Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000 linear-tracking turntable to the right.

To give you an idea of what these albums are like, here's a video of Vinterhymne from December Song:

Jakob Bro - Balladeering

Part one of a trilogy written for Bro (guitar)/Frisell (guitar)/Konitz (sax)/Motian (drums), joined by Ben Street (bass). A beautiful, expressive work.

Motian died shortly after recording this, so he wouldn't continue for the other two (Time / December Song), but his style here is reflected by Jon Christensen's work on Gefion as well.

All three have been recently re-released on Loveland.

Jakob Bro - Balladeering LP cover.

Mostly white, top half with the title and most names in black outline, except for Bro, whose name is all black.

Below, what look like eggs and a bird, maybe.

The black LP plays on a vintage, restored Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000 linear-tracking turntable to the right.

Jakob Bro - Gefion

This is Bro's ECM debut (although I also have three of his Loveland LPs, which I'm sure I'll feature soon).

Bro's reverberant restraint fits in well with the classic ECM production/house sound. He's joined by Thomas Morgan on bass, and they swap melodic lines back and forth while Jon Christensen's cymbal work (with the occasional drum) chimes behind.

Good stuff.
