★★★★: “The core essence of this heartfelt homage: Lead and follow at the same time, share the space and let the music carry you - a Motian-like mantra if there ever was one.“ - Downbeat (US)
★★★★★: “In dreams - if you dream music rather than pictorial imagery and we often do - the soundtrack which is always an abstraction and mysterious is something ideally like Once Around the Room.” - Marlbank (IR)
★★★★: “Much more than a tribute, Once Around The Room captures Motian’s spirit and walks with it to a performance that has a compelling sense of vibrant celebration as well as solemn recognition of greatness.” - Jazzwise (UK)
“Everything is played with mastery and respect. The repertoire is round and the music brilliant. Also, it contains the best Lovano we’ve heard on a record in recent times, and that’s no small thing.” - El Pais (ES)

When I listen to this song and confront it with the title, I remember my wonderful, deceased friend. Thank you for this emotion 🙏

I don't think I've ever heard anything so beautiful in my life.

this is more touching than a birth or a death. Is bigger than life.

Wunderbar

[@shoelesshuntersongs2422]

Thanks Jakob. Motian happened to be always there for me: with Evans, with Jarrett, with Frisell, with the Electric Be Bop Band... In their own way, his compositions are timeless, as Monk's .
