Our Take

Paul Motian Holiday for Strings is a whimsical journey through the magical world of string orchestration. Motian, known for his work as a jazz drummer, takes a playful approach to classical music with this album, infusing the pieces with his signature flair. From the moment the strings start plucking and bowing, you can tell this isn't your average holiday album. The arrangements are rich and complex, blending traditional holiday tunes with Motian's unique twist. Each track is a delightful mix of cheerful melodies and unexpected harmonies, keeping listeners on their toes. The standout track, "Winter Wonderland", is a prime example of Motian's ability to reinvent a classic. The familiar tune is transformed into a swirling, dynamic masterpiece that is sure to delight even the staunchest Scrooge. The strings dance and weave around each other, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is simply enchanting. Overall, Paul Motian Holiday for Strings is a must-listen for any music enthusiast looking for something a bit different this holiday season. Motian's inventive arrangements and playful spirit make this album a joy to listen to from start to finish. So grab a cup of hot cocoa, wrap yourself in a blanket, and let the magic of Holiday for Strings transport you to a musical wonderland.
