There is a lot of history concentrated in Jack DeJohnette’s adventurous new trio. Fifty years ago, as a guest with John Coltrane’s group, Jack DeJohnette played with the fathers of Ravi Coltrane and Matthew Garrison, and the programme of In Movement opens with Coltrane’s harrowing and still pertinent elegy “Alabama”. Other covers include the classic “Blue In Green” by Miles Davis and Bill Evans (Jack is one of the few musicians to have played in the bands of both men) and “Serpentine Fire”, from the songbook of Earth, Wind and Fire, a tribute to Maurice White - who also collaborated with Jack in the early years. “The Two Jimmys” is an hommage to Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Garrison, innovators both, and “Rashied” salutes the late Rashied Ali, another great drummer from Coltrane’s cosmos. For all the wealth of references, this is indeed a band in movement, taking the music forward. Ravi Coltrane and Matt Garrison, in their ECM debuts, both respond magnificently to DeJohnette’s driving drumming, Ravi with superb solos, Garrison with lean bass lines and imaginative looping electronics. Jack DeJohnette: “We are connected at a very high and extremely personal level that I believe comes through in the music.” In Movement was recorded at New York’s Avatar Studios in October 2015, and produced by Manfred Eicher.

This trio is the pinnacle of Jazz today imo. Came to my home town last year. What a live experience!

[@RonCarterBassist]

Wonderful.

I love unusual and small-band combinations. I never heard Dejohnette speak about Rashied Ali and often wondered what he thought of his playing. Since he's now dedicated a piece to Rashied, I guess that speaks for itself. Dejohnette is an American musical icon in my book...

Loved seeing you guys at SFJazz. Hands down one of the best [jazz] shows I have ever seen. Great presence, energy, tension, in the moment. Sound reflections, poetic & melodic.

Looking forward to hearing the whole album. The vibe from this video is rich with family association and love. I was deeply affected by the spiritual power and questing nature of John Coltrane and his fellow players. This feels like a confirmation and continuation of that path. Congratulations !
