I happened to catch this group playing at this past year's Jazz & RIbs Fest and was really impressed with their performance. I picked up their CD and have been loving it! The tunes are well written and cover a lot ground within the jazz context - latin, funk, straight-ahead. The band has a great sound and there is a nice dynamic on this recording. Well done!

Andrew Hartman and Still Motion give us a well composed album that avoids the over extension common in jazz.  Intricate interplay between the five instruments exists throughout the record, yet the album never feels dense resulting in a pleasant medium between complexity and simplicity.  In sum, Still Motion is a loose and fresh release that leaves the listener seeking more from this new group.
