Following in the footsteps of the CD release of ‘In Movement’ by Jack DeJohnette’s adventurous new trio with Ravi Coltrane and Matthew Garrison comes the 2-LP version of the album, produced on 180g and with a free download.
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. Recorded at New York’s Avatar Studios in October 2015, and produced by Manfred Eicher.

“Jack DeJohnette’s decisive energies and musicality make him, at 73, one of the marvels of contemporary jazz… whoopingly uninhibited.” – The Guardian
“US drummer Jack DeJohnette’s trio reconfigure recent jazz history into a rich, forward-looking, spiritual aesthetic. Here powerhouse rhythms alternate with perfectly placed cymbals and crunchy electronica with sparse piano from DeJohnette.” – Financial Times

Personnel: Jack DeJohnette (drums, piano, electronic percussion), Ravi Coltrane (tenor, soprano and sopranino saxophones), Matthew Garrison (electric bass, electronics)
