Paul Motian and the Electric Bebop Band is an album of bebop jazz standards by American drummer Paul Motian originally released on the German JMT label. It was the first release by the Electric Bebop Band, which featured the veteran drummer working mainly with younger musicians and which subsequently became one of Motian's primary groups until the end of his life.
Recorded in 1992, it was released in 1993 and features performances by Motian with tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman, guitarists Brad Shepik and Kurt Rosenwinkel, and bass guitarist Stomu Takeishi. The album was rereleased on the Winter & Winter label in 2004.[1]
Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "these versions are often a bit outside, a touch rock-ish, and quite unpredictable".[2]
