Motian In Motion documents the career of iconic jazz drummer Paul Motian with rare fly-on-the-wall footage of Paul in the studio, at rehearsals, and traveling to and from gigs as well as running in his beloved Central Park. We get to know Paul through archival footage and interviews with other legendary musicians such as with Bill Frisell, Joe Lovano, Carla Bley, Chick Corea.
Paul Motian’s sound and percussive presence, like the homonym in his name, represents energy in transit. As we observe a decade since his passing, he still feels present, his spirit informing the approach of many of today’s bands.
His capacious musical identity prompts the question, “What was Paul Motian like in person?” And just as Motian in Motion provides a rare peek into the life of the man himself, we decided to check in with two longtime Motian associates, Crispel and Bro. To hear them tell it, the time they spent offstage with Motian yielded as many memories and information as their time with him in performance.
