Blue Note Records showcases the deep artistry of their roster with the debut album from label supergroup Out Of/Into, 2024's Motion I. Formed to mark the storied label's 85th anniversary, Out Of/Into features some of their brightest stars, including pianist and musical director Gerald Clayton, alto saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins, vibraphonist Joel Ross, drummer Kendrick Scott, and bassist Matt Brewer. Each of these musicians are well-regarded in their own right and have played a stylistically broad manner of jazz, from driving hard bop and standards to more fusion-oriented styles of electronic jazz and R&B. The fear with any ad hoc all-star band is that they will sound a bit too loose and unfocused. Thankfully, that's not the case here, and Out Of/Into manage to achieve a cohesive and engaging group aesthetic. Rather than play standards or classic compositions associated with Blue Note, they focus on their own originals, most of which evoke the harmonically exploratory and investigate post-bop jazz Blue Note is often recognized for. They open with Clayton's "Ofafrii," a roiling, Afro-Latin-tinged modal number that nicely exploits the woody, organic textures and kinetic interplay the band is going for. It's a warm, cocoon-like vibe they further conjure on "Gabaldon's Glide," a dusky, midtempo Clayton composition that settles into a circular, stardust-laden groove. Though the album never sounds too beholden to any one sound there are influences at play. Ross' "Radical" has the driving modalism of the late-'60s Miles Davis quintet, while Brewer's "Second Day" brings to mind the floating quality of a Herbie Hancock's Sextant album, especially with Clayton's blown-out Fender Rhodes and effects pedal flourishes. Elsewhere, Scott's "Aspiring to Normalcy" evokes the eerie majesty of a '70s horror soundtrack and Wilkins' noir-ish ballad "Bird's Luck" recalls the smoky romanticism of Dexter Gordon's latter-career work in the film 'Round Midnight. There's a strong mood setting vibe on Motion I, one that finds Out Of/Into drawing upon Blue Note's past while pushing toward the future.
