The album 'Motion' was originally released on LP with five tracks and later on CD with eight. All those tracks were taken from the session on 29 August, 1961 and feature the trio with Elvin Jones on drums. However previous to this date there had been two earlier sessions with a trio featuring Nick Stabulas on drums. In 1997 Verve issued all the sessions on a three CD set, now sadly OOP. Whilst it is clear why the session with Elvin Jones was the one marked for release, the other sessions with Nick Stabulas are also excellent and offer a fascinating alternative glimpse of a 'work in progress'.
Danish native Jacob Fischer is a rising star and one of the most in-demand jazz guitarists in Scandinavia and Europe. Born in 1967, the self-taught guitarist began working as a professional when he was 17 years old, and since then has participated in over 200 recordings. His fifth album as a leader, and his debut from the Japanese label Venus Records, is an ambitious project: A tribute to Bill Evans with a simple trio with Martin Wind on bass and Tim Horner on drums.
