Motion I is the debut album from Out Of/Into, the collective formerly known as The Blue Note Quintet, featuring pianist Gerald Clayton, alto saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins, vibraphonist Joel Ross, drummer Kendrick Scott, and bassist Matt Brewer. The band was formed in celebration of Blue Note Records 85th Anniversary and embarked on an extensive U.S. tour earlier this year during which they honed a distinctive, progressive sound that is the perfect embodiment of the Blue Note ethos. Blue Note has been such a wonderful home for the community, for incredible musicians, for creativity, for all these years, says Clayton. You cant help but think about all those masters, all those heroes that youve grown up listening to. To get a chance to pay tribute and try to carry some of that essence forward is truly just an honor.
