Paul Bley, Charlie Haden & Paul Motian • Memoirs

 

Review by Josef Woodard
Memoirs serves as a tidy summation of Paul Bley's gifts as an individual and musical conversationalist. It helps that he converses with old friends. Paul Motian is, roughly, to the drums what Bley is to the piano, capable of sculpting icy, paradoxical emotions; on moment's notice, they can venture "out" where tonal centers and rhythmic pulses are not invited. And there, always, is the fundamental Charlie Haden, who demonstrates how a few well-placed notes and well-observed silences can lock a group texture into place.

Reseña de Josef Woodard
Memoirs sirve como un resumen conciso de los dones de Paul Bley como individuo y conversador musical. Ayuda que converse con viejos amigos. Paul Motian es, a grandes rasgos, para la batería lo que Bley es para el piano, capaz de esculpir emociones gélidas y paradójicas; en un instante, pueden aventurarse «fuera» de donde los centros tonales y los pulsos rítmicos no están invitados. Y allí, siempre, está el fundamental Charlie Haden, que demuestra cómo unas pocas notas bien colocadas y unos silencios bien observados pueden fijar la textura de un grupo.
