Motility is an album by American jazz pianist and composer Steve Kuhn and his band Ecstasy recorded in January 1977 and released on ECM three months later in April.[2]
Reception
The AllMusic review by Ken Dryden awarded the album 3 stars stating "This is one of Steve Kuhn's more unusual studio sessions.... At times, the pianist seems less like a post-bop musician and more like someone dabbling in new-age music."[3]
