For the Love of Sarah - Motian Sickness / The Music of Paul Motian ( Grizzley Music 2011)

A new instrumental take on the compositions of visionary drummer/composer Paul Motian. The recording features Jeff Cosgrove (drums), John Hebert (bass), Mat Maneri (viola), and Jamie Masefield (mandolin).


For The Love of Sarah features a interesting twist on the music of Paul Motian. The recording explores the interplay between drummer Jeff Cosgrove, bassist John Hebert (Mary Halvorson/Fred Hersch), violist Mat Maneri (Cecil Taylor/William Parker), and mandolinist Jamie Masefield (Jazz Mandolin Project). This is the first release to entirely display Motian's compositions which Paul Motian does not appear on. It is an exciting and inspiring recording. Motian Sickness, For The Love of Sarah, was recorded over two days in February 2011.
