Brian Jones Double Quartet December 7, 2011

Last week, the jazz world lost a prized possession in drummer PAUL MOTIAN. Motian’s sensitive drumming, on point intuition, and paintbrush-like touch is made eternal through his recordings with pianists Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett and through the countless drummers he influenced.

BRIAN JONES is one of the many drummers who was touched by Motian, and on Wednesday, Jones and his Double Quartet will dedicate a set to the “American maverick.” Flanked by two drummers and two bassists and completed by four horns, the BRIAN JONES DOUBLE QUARTET explores juxtaposed themes, sonic pendulums, and deep and driving grooves.
