Paul Motian Trio 2000 Plus Two

Veteran drummer Paul Motian settles into his home away from home with his fluctuating trio-plus. 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. Loren Stillman plays sax, and (intriguingly) Ben Street and Thomas Morgan are both playing bass.
