Despite the size of Jack DeJohnette’s discography, it is probably fair to say the drummer’s best recordings under his own name are to be found on the ECM label. In Movement sees his return to the label with two younger musicians whom he has known since their childhood. The leading voice in the proceedings is saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, whose playing here must surely be his finest on record. In an album of free and structured improvisation and group interaction, he makes light of the creative burden this trio context demands. ‘Rashied’, with DeJohnette and Coltrane in duo, is an album highlight inspired by Rashied Ali’s duets on Interstellar Space with Ravi’s father John. It also provides a leitmotif for an album of fascinating musical movement where sounds and styles are freely mixed, developed and exchanged, abruptly morphing into new shapes and directions. Garrison excels on bass – in dialogue with the saxophone, in dialogue with the drums – and exploiting electronics to create sometimes trippy, sometimes colouristic episodes which add unexpected tonal contrasts within the trio format.
