Geri Allen, Charlie Haden & Paul Motian – Etudes [CD]

Etudes is a 1987 trio session led by bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Paul Motian with pianist Geri Allen, first issued by Soul Note in 1988. Haden and Motian set up the date to feature Allen after her work in Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra. The program covers Ornette Coleman's "Lonely Woman," Herbie Nichols' "Shuffle Montgomery," and originals from all three, including Allen's "Dolphy's Dance," Haden's "Sandino" and Motian's two etudes.
