Motian in Tokyo is a live album by Paul Motian recorded and released by Japanese Bamboo label of Polydor K.K. at the end of 1991, and widely destributed through PolyGram. The album features performances by Motian with guitarist Bill Frisell and tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano and was rereleased on the Winter & Winter label in 2003.[1]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars, stating: "The music is reminiscent of both Coleman and Keith Jarrett in spots, and is often floating and wandering, generally staying quite coherent, with some fiery moments. But overall, this interesting but not essential set does not live up to its great potential".[2]
