Live at the Village Vanguard is a live album by Paul Motian's Trio 2000 + Two recorded at the Village Vanguard and released on the German Winter & Winter label in 2007.[1] It features Motian’s trio with tenor saxophonist Chris Potter and double bassist Larry Grenadier, along with guests Masabumi Kikuchi on piano, and alto saxophonist Greg Osby.
Reception
[edit]The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "This is easily some of Paul Motian's most challenging music as a leader, while the Village Vanguard audience was obviously transfixed with the performances, as they remain very quiet to soak in every nuance of them".[2]
