More Info
Recorded and released in 1961, Motion brings together saxophonist Lee Konitz, bassist Sonny Dallas and drummer Elvin Jones in a trio playing together for the first time. Produced by Creed Taylor, the session favours spontaneous interplay, with no piano to constrain the space around Konitz’s cool-toned, lyrical phrasing.
Jones’ dynamic, polyrhythmic drumming and Dallas’ steady bass lines provide the setting for five conversational, often abstract interpretations of standards, including ‘All Of Me’, ‘I Remember You’ and ‘You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To’.
This Verve Acoustic Sounds Series edition is mastered from the original analog tapes by Matthew Lutthans, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP) and packaged in a high-quality tip-on gatefold jacket.
