In Movement

Description

Following in the footsteps of the CD release of In Movement by Jack DeJohnettes adventurous new trio with Ravi Coltrane and Matthew Garrison comes the 2-LP version of the album, produced on 180g and with a free download.
Fifty years ago, as a guest with John Coltranes group, Jack DeJohnette played with the fathers of Ravi Coltrane and Matthew Garrison, and the programme of In Movement opens with Coltranes harrowing and still pertinent elegy Alabama. Other covers include the classic Blue In Green by Miles Davis and Bill Evans (Jack is one of the few musicians to have played in the bands of both men) and Serpentine Fire, from the songbook of Earth, Wind and Fire, a tribute to Maurice White who also collaborated with Jack in the early years. Recorded at New Yorks Avatar Studios in October 2015, and produced by Manfred Eicher.

Jack DeJohnettes decisive energies and musicality make him, at 73, one of the marvels of contemporary jazz whoopingly uninhibited. The Guardian
US drummer Jack DeJohnettes trio reconfigure recent jazz history into a rich, forward-looking, spiritual aesthetic. Here powerhouse rhythms alternate with perfectly placed cymbals and crunchy electronica with sparse piano from DeJohnette. Financial Times

Personnel: Jack DeJohnette (drums, piano, electronic percussion), Ravi Coltrane (tenor, soprano and sopranino saxophones), Matthew Garrison (electric bass, electronics)
