Here’s a great audio interview with Drummer Paul Motian.

Motian has spent more than 50 years in music, working with jazz luminaries like Lee Konitz and Thelonious Monk. At 75, he has a new CD of bebop jazz: Garden of Eden, featuring his own band.

The rare drummer who dislikes drum solos, some of Motian’s most memorable work has been with the Bill Evans trio, with bassist Scott LaFaro. Their recordings include the classics Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Portrait of Jazz. In addition to playing with Monk and Konitz, Motian’s resume includes work with Paul Bley and a long collaboration with Keith Jarrett.
