ECM have really done drummer, composer and bandleader Paul Motian proud with this 6CD box set in their Old and New Masters Edition.
Conception and Tribute feature guitarist Sam Brown extensively with guest slots for Keith Jarrett, Leroy Jenkins and Carlos Ward; Dance and Le Voyage provide a wonderful showcase for saxophonist Charles Brackeen, while Psalm and It Should Have Happened a Long Time Ago introduce the long-running Bill Frisell/Joe Lovano partnerships.
Informed and helpful notes by pianist Ethan Iverson are the icing on the cake.
