Alex LoRe - Motivity Album Release

Alex LoRe - saxophone
Special Guests:

An object in motion stays in motion, as Newton eloquently explained. Thus we have the link connecting one enterprising artist to another. With Motivity, his fifth album to date, saxophonist Alex LoRe draws a direct line from his chordless trio approach to that of his mentor, the late Lee Konitz, on Motion (Verve, 1961). Working with two of the finest rhythm modernists on today’s scene—bassist Ben Street and drummer Johnathan Blake—LoRe upholds his reputation as an inveterate creative, presenting a thoughtfully constructed program highlighting his love for melody, communion and pure improvisation as they relate to both the source material and his own search for meaning in music.

This recording is supported by Chamber Music America’s Artistic Projects program, funded through the generosity of The Howard Gilman Foundation.
