Recorded: Sep 1989
Paul Motian's new album features the same team of musicians, much praised for its "inspired, uncannily precise ensemble interaction" (DER TAGESSPIEGEL). Once again Paul Motian's subtle drumming is rich in nuances, Tenor saxsophonist Joe Lovano, most directly rooted in the jazz tradition among the members of Paul Motian's band, dazzles with his sonorous sound and wonderfully fluent melodies, The unmistakable Bill Frisell, one of the top guitar innovators of the last ten years, gives Vol. 2 a unique magical atmosphere. His playing made Paul Motian On Broadway Vol. 1 "an exceptional achievement", GITARRE & BASS found. "To hear him is to be carried off into another world". This time studio technician Joe Ferla has managed to capture the warmth and skewed lushnes of Bill Frisell's sound even better. Charlie Haden once more contributes a strong, sensitive bass fundament.
The songs on Paul Motian On Broadway - Vol. 1 were selected by Paul Motian from among the works of four composers of the first rank-Cole Porter, HaroldArlen, Jerome Kern, George Gershwin. Chosing material for Vol. 2, he proceeded differently: Not particular composers, but certain favorite songs were his starting point here. Only Gershwin and Kern are represented a second time.
Today a return to the standards-repertoire is no longer frowned upon as musically regressive. Creative musicians like Paul Motian, Bill Frisell, Charlie Haden and Joe Lovano unabashedly own up to their love for old pop songs, including the more schmaltzy and romantic ones; songs that have proven their durability beyond any context they originally appeared in.
Specialists at best will remember that the great career of "Body and Soul", one of the most famous songs in jazz history, began as part of a 1930 revue, Three's A Crowd, where it was interpreted by Libby Holman. "You And The Night And The Music" originated from Revenge With Music, the debut of Schwartz/Dietz as musical writers. Because of the song's hot blooded lyrics (the musical was based on an old Spanish tale about adultery) it was for a while banned from the radio. "I Got Rhythm" and "But Not For Me" were vehicles for Broadway debutants Ethel Merman and Ginger Rogers, respectively, in the 1930 Gershwin musical "Girl Crazy".
Many of these products of American song industry were transformed into art by jazz musicians furing the Swing era, when jazz and pop were still closely related. Bebop reduced them to a set of chord structures to be grafted with new melodies. With the ascendency of Free Jazz in the '60s, standards were forced to retreat into bars and nightclubs.
On Paul Motian On Broadway - Vol. 2 Paul Motian and his band reimagine eleven classical songs. Their fresh and thoroughly modern way of handling these standard invests them with renewed appeal and enduring beauty.
