About the album

"Hesse is terrific: great ears and crazy chops. Comping, he's inventive, offering suggestive and unexpected colors, sometimes spidery, fingered chords; when he cuts loose, his lines can be thrilling." - Downbeat Magazine

The Stillness of Motion brings together a riveting trio of Chicago's finest for a wide-ranging set of originals by guitarist Scott Hesse. Along with bandmates Clark Sommers on bass and drummer Makaya McCraven, they use this intimate setting to weave their highly individual voices together in a rich tapestry of group improvisation and composition.
The Stillness of Motion vereint drei der Besten Chicagos für ein vielfältiges Set von Eigenkompositionen des Gitaristen Scot Hesse. Zusammen mit Clark Sommers am Bass und Drummer Makaya McCraven nutzt er diese intime Konstellation, um die drei sehr individuellen Stimmen in einer dichten Textur von Gruppenimprovisation und Komposition zu verweben.
