Rodrigo Amado's Motion Trio is the model of free jazz genuineness and efficiency, and by that I mean proficiency. They give off an impression of nonchalance here, but don't let their relaxed approach fool you, beneath the surface their music is burning with all the agitation of the 1960's New Thing in jazz.
After a wave a recordings with guests that included trumpeter Peter Evans on The Freedom Principle (NoBusiness, 2014) and Live In Lisbon (NoBusiness, 2014) and trombonist Jeb Bishop The Flame Alphabet (Not Two, 2013) and Burning Live At Jazz Ao Centro (JACC, 2012), the trio of tenor saxophonist Amado, cellist Miguel Mira and drummer Gabriel Ferrandini returned to the studio to make music as a core unit. This had not been done since their self-titled debut in 2009.
It is as if they had returned from the wars, and their homecoming here was a celebration. Amado has worked and recorded with Joe McPhee, Taylor Ho Bynum, Paal Nilssen-Love, Chris Corsano, Luís Lopes, and Gerald Cleaver, to name just a few. Mira performs with the Variable Geometry Orchestra and Iridium String Quartet, and Ferrandini with RED Trio and Lisbon Connection.
