26 Paul Motian<br />
Rhythm Of The Moment<br />
By KEN MicAllEf<br />
Motian is one of the most prolific<br />
and imaginative drummer/leaders<br />
in jazz today. He never leaves<br />
Manhattan and doesn’t have to.<br />
Musicians who want to play and<br />
record with him journey to New<br />
York, where Motian holds court<br />
at the Village Vanguard, Cornelia<br />
Street Café, the Jazz Standard,<br />
Birdland and the Blue Note. But<br />
regardless of the gig, Motian<br />
never really changes. Some see<br />
him as the ultimate swinger,<br />
others as an anarchist bent on<br />
meeting his once throwaway<br />
comment to “destroy jazz.”<br />
