A collective of stars from the Blue Note Quintet, formed for the label's 85th anniversary, embodies its spirit by combining innovation and legacy. Composed of G Clayton, I Wilkins, J Ross, K Scott, and Matt Brewer, the group focuses on avant-garde music while honoring tradition. Motion II, taken from their anniversary tour sessions, offers six compositions that chart the future of jazz. J Ross summarizes their approach: "We perpetuate Blue Note's legacy by remaining true to ourselves."
