Down Beat (p.74) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "With flotation devices that seem to hang in mid-air, Motian's drumming and arranging style brings new meaning to the musical term rubato."JazzTimes (p.122) - "[T]he performances are propelled by simple, folklike melodies....As tenor saxophonists Chris Cheek and Tony Malaby lay down synchronous -- and vaguely accordion-toned -- lines, the rest of the music seems to float and drift behind them."52.28905

Down Beat (p.80) - "The setting is perfect for Frisell's relaxed, lyric style, whether investigating the harmonic and rhythmic nooks and crannies of Thelonious Monk tunes or bringing a David Lynch-style noir to the bluegrass murder ballad 'Pretty Polly'."JazzTimes (p.89) - "[Motian] adopts a fluid role in which he easily, organically morphs from pianistic comping to playing contrapuntal lines with Lovano to occasionally filling in bass lines..."Mojo (Publisher) (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "As delicate as fine-spun gossamer, Frisell's spidery, discursive melodies are underpinned throughout by Carter's elastic figures and the deceptively easy gait of Motian's nuanced drumming."52.28905

Down Beat (p.60) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Harrison takes this heady music and creates string compositions that demand an active, engaged listener. STRING CHOIR is a tribute record to a jazz heavyweight, but it could also stand on its own on the classical rack."52.28905

JazzTimes (p.58) - "[T]he piano trio is continuously stimulating because of its bassist, Gary Peacock, and drummer, Paul Motian....All the tunes are originals or group improvisations."46.61377

Down Beat (3/96, p.42) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "To say that the music on [TETHERED MOON] is understated would be an understatement....[it] rewards as a game played very well, a game played gracefully, with much listening and sharing, and with the beautiful sounds of piano, bass and drums."39.21679

Down Beat (p.58) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The older guys sound great, if ultra laid-back, wending their way dreamily through six standards..."JazzTimes (p.64) - "These masters couldn't be better suited philosophically....Mehldau shares the group's reverence for standards and the notion that 'free' can be soft, slow, smart, subtle and sophisticated."Mojo (Publisher) (p.101) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The quartet's set consists of six jazz standards, all beautifully rendered, benefitting from almost 300 years-worth of musical experience."32.68066

Down Beat (10/90) - 5 Stars - Excellent - "The music swings, growls and caresses. There is space, and there is traffic. This is refreshing jazz; after all, who needs a bass when the sky's the limit?...The familiar and unfamiliar meet in extraordinary displays of tradition turned on its head."Option - "has a breeziness and carefree quality"1.074335

The Wire (p.74) - "Drummer Paul Motian implies, rather than imposes, motion with subtle brushstrokes, and pianist Stefano Bollani's elliptical lilt is reminiscent of early Herbie Hancock, while Rava hits all the right notes."JazzTimes (p.94) - "In this spacious trio with no bass, Bollani's timing is exact and his touch is poetic. Motian, with his minimalist accents, nuances and expands the meaning of every trumpet and piano gesture."0.5380275

The Wire (9/99, p.50) - "...a dream team for improvisational freedom and interaction....Paul Motian plays a suprising amount of time, but still with great freedom. Swallow's electric bass is precise and delicate. Konitz himself is a musician who knows his worth..."CMJ (12/20/99, p.28) - "...a sublime and compelling listening excursion."JazzTimes (3/00, pp.80-1) - "...will appeal primarily to the diehards....All three play well....Swallow really controls the flow with very interesting figures which utilize partial chord forms very effectively on his five-string electric bass..."0.430422

4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's a a sci-fi flick, but it's also a heartfelt tribute to Spielberg, something that reaches its crescendo in a plate-spinning final showdown that is action-paced, funny and unexpectedly moving."Empire 3 stars out of 5 - "Briskly directed by Greg Mottola....[Paul] blends neatly with the landscape and co-stars..."Total Film 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] slacker bromance....The addition of Jason Bateman and Bill Hader as Men In Black on their trail, Kristen Wiig as a partially sighted Christian and Seth Rogen as the 'voice' of Paul add something new."Uncut "[A] sort of fractured E.T., with Seth Rogen never more likeable than as the bald-headed extraterrestrial who just wants to phone home..."Los Angeles Times "Where Paul takes off is in its embrace and knowledge of sci-fi-icons....The creatures movements, facial expressions and interactions with human co-stars are seamless."USA Today 4 stars out of 5 -- "[An] inspired, hysterical, spot-on spoof....[With a] sharp-tongued central character and many witty references to popular sci-fi flicks."Box Office "[A] sweetly daft spaceman comedy....The filmmakers offer ups a spot-on cartoon of types we've loved in dozens of other movies..." -- Grade: B+Entertainment Weekly 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] cheeky spoof that puts a hilarious hurt to everything it loves....Rogen is a nonstop hoot, but it's the byplay between Frost and Pegg that roots the laughs in characters we care about."Rolling Stone9.87686
