Dance is an album by the Paul Motian Trio recorded in September 1977 and released on ECM the following year. The trio features saxophonist Charles Brackeen and bassist David Izenzon.[1]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "Although drummer Paul Motian is the leader of this trio set with the brilliant bassist David Izenzon, it is Charles Brackeen, heard on tenor and soprano, who is generally the solo star. Motian's six originals (which include "Waltz Song," "Kalypso," "Asia" and "Lullaby") contain plenty of variety and generally live up to their titles."[2]
