Paul Motian Trio

Veteran drummer Paul Motian settles into his home away from home with his fluctuating trio. While we admit to finding pianist Masabumi “Pooh” Kikuchi’s vocalizations distracting, we’re solidly in favor of this band’s yin-yang approach to covering classic show tunes, and Greg Osby on sax lends a fascinatingly heady wrinkle to the prospect.
