**On Once Around The Room ECM recording artists and key jazz musicians from several
generations unite in a small ensemble to celebrate the musical legacy of drum icon
Paul Motian in a big way.**

Joe Lovano and Jakob Bro lead a party of seven through fiery originals that recall
the idioms and idiosyncrasies which Motian brought to light over six influential
decades behind the drums.

Lovano and Motian had been intimate colleagues for many years with their most notable
collaboration being the groundbreaking trio featuring Bill Frisell – the lineup 
released three albums on ECM.

Jakob Bro on the other hand made his ECM debut on Paul’s album Garden of Eden (2006).
Here, compositions by Joe and Jakob appear alongside a collective improvisation 
and Motian’s own “Drum Music”, seamlessly tied together and developed by an accomplished
musical collective with stalwarts Larry Grenadier, Thomas Morgan and Anders Christensen
respectively on bass as well as drummers Joey Baron and Jorge Rossy.

**Joe Lovano – Tenor Saxophone, Tarogato**
 **Larry Grenadier – Double Bass** **
Thomas Morgan – Double Bass** **Jakob Bro – Guitar** **Anders Christensen – Bass
Guitar** **Joey Baron – Drums** **Jorge Rossy – Drums**
