Jack DeJohnette, Ravi Coltrane, Matt Garrison – In Movement (180g 2LP)

TAS Super LP List! Special Merit: Informal

ECM Debut From Ravi Coltrane & Matthew Garrison On 180g Double LP!

Fifty years ago, as a guest with John Coltrane’s group, Jack DeJohnette played with the fathers of Ravi Coltrane and Matthew Garrison. But for all the wealth of historical reference, this adventurous trio is a band in movement, taking the music forward.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 and color-rich cymbal play, Ravi with superb solos, Garrison with lean bass lines and imaginative looping electronics.

Musing upon the studio experience with Ravi and Matthew, DeJohnette says: “I’m inspired by what we did we got into some amazing sonic grooves. It’s a continuation, a moving of our music forward music that’s not locked into any one genre. I know I haven’t heard any combination like this. There’s the past and the present and the future in what we’re doing.”
