Geri Allen, Charlie Haden, Paul Motian – In The Year Of The Dragon
Geri Allen / Charlie Haden / Paul Motian – In The Year Of The Dragon
A deeply intuitive and atmospheric collaboration, In The Year Of The Dragon brings together three giants of modern jazz - pianist Geri Allen, bassist Charlie Haden, and drummer Paul Motian - in a recording defined by subtle interplay, spaciousness, and emotional depth.
Rather than relying on virtuosic display, the trio focuses on conversation and texture, moving fluidly between composition and improvisation. The result is a set that feels intimate and exploratory, where silence is as important as sound. With compositions drawn from across jazz traditions - including works by Bud Powell and Ornette Coleman alongside original pieces from all three musicians - the album reflects both reverence for the past and a forward-looking creative spirit.
A quietly powerful recording, this is essential listening for those drawn to modern jazz at its most thoughtful and expressive.
