Paul Motian Trio - Live in Alassio '77

Photobucket

This was the first and only time that i had the chance
of listening David Izenzon live : after ten years of
retirement he was starting playing again with P.Motian
and C.Brackeen in this short lived trio.
What a marvellous bass player, one of the greatest
of the sixties together with Charlie Haden, Scott LaFaro,
Henry Grimes, Jimmy Garrison and few others.

    Wow. This looks amazing -- two geniuses who didn't record nearly enough, not to mention Motian, a genius who recorded plenty. It's great to have more of this group than the single album Dance (and Le Voyage with Jenny-Clark on bass instead).

    I just noticed that Sotise posted another concert by this band in December: http://inconstantsol.blogspot.com/2008/12/paul-motian-trio-live-in-bremen-139.html

    Just wanted to thank you again, riccardo, for all the wonderful music you post.

    Thanks a lot for posting this. Charles Brackeen is a big favorite of mine, indeed extremely underrecorded. Can't wait to listen to this concert!

    I hope I'm not overstepping a line by offering my own links here. I believe these are riccardo's original FLACs in one folder. In a second folder, since I had to split the file anyway, I tossed in a small "bonus" of the Joe&Bill trio broadcast live from Clusone in '92, 4 tunes.
    I don't have the Trio in Bremen that was also requested, but I do happen to have the Quintet in Bremen in '81 & '83. I'll get those in the Contributions section soon.
    Yay Paul Motian!
