Our Take

MICHAEL ADKINS / RUSS LOSSING / JOHN HEBERT / PAUL MOTIAN / MOTIAN PAUL Rotator

In the vast universe of jazz music, where improvisation reigns supreme and genre boundaries blur like a watercolor painting left out in the rain, comes Rotator from the dynamic quintet of Michael Adkins, Russ Lossing, John Hebert, and the legendary Paul Motian (or is it Motian Paul? We may never know). These seasoned veterans come together on this album like a well-oiled jazz machine, effortlessly spinning and turning through a dizzying array of musical landscapes.

From the opening track "Spinning Around Like a Record Baby" to the hauntingly beautiful "Twilight Vortex," Rotator is a whirlwind of emotions and sonic textures. Adkins' saxophone wails and whispers, Lossing's piano tinkles and roars, Hebert's bass grooves and waltzes, and Motian/Motian's drumming is like a thunderstorm rolling in over the horizon.

One moment you're swept up in a tornado of frenetic energy, the next you're gently floating on a cloud of melancholy melody. It's like being on a rollercoaster ride through the heart and soul of jazz music, with no time to catch your breath or hit the emergency stop button.

So buckle up, dear readers, because Rotator is not just an album—it's an experience. And like any good ride, you'll want to go again and again, discovering new twists and turns with each listen. So hop on board and let the music take you for a spin. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
