{Summer is here (for some of us). Check out what Indieball was listening to around this time last year. I’ll help you out with some Coltrane Motion, originally posted June 21, 2010. Here is your second chance.}
A friend recently turned me onto a duo from Chicaco, Illinois called Coltrane Motion. Having listened to them happily at length before going to a recent show in New York, I was surprised to discover the venue nearly empty as we arrived. The band started, and slowly the space filled up some, but never to the capacity commensurate with what this band deserved.
Coltrane. You will find no jazz here. Motion. Delivered, both in the music (their second full-length June 2010 release appropriately titled Hello Ambition!) and in their live performance. The music, provided here via the tracks “I Forgot There Was a War On” and “Please Call It a Comeback,” speak to you for themselves, but your Coltrane Motion experience will not be complete until you stand in front of them and watch helplessly as the live madness unfolds before your eyes and ears. Coltrane Motion stands out, performing their music flawlessly while simultaneously executing perfect jumps, twitching and knocking their knees and giving the ballerinas a run for their money with their relevés.
Coltrane Motion. They get into your skin and stay there for days to come.
