| Abstract | "Mark Sherman is a fresh, clear, bright voice on the vibes. His recording combines a clear sense of tradition with a strong contemporary flare. It's more about a certain urbane attitude and urban energy that's rampant from the reharmonized "Nature Boy," which alternates between a quasi-Latin feel and an intense swing, to the modal "Motive #10 - Judaican" which, dedicated to the late Kenny Kirkland and one of two tracks to feature guest saxophonist Michael Brecker, revolves around a complex theme that is, again, a set-up for a hard-swinging solo section. Sherman is a linear player who seems to bristle with ideas, whether on the uptempo "Motive #8 - Altered," which features a staggering thematic figure, or on the tender ballad, "Motive #11 - Always Reaching." Capably backed by pianist Mark Farnham, bassist Phil Palombi and drummer Tim Horner--"The Motive Series" paints the most forceful picture yet of Sherman the player and composer. Aside from the appearance of master saxophonist Mike Brecker, this is a feature vehicle for Mark Sherman's artistic vibraphone display. He can be regarded as having a similar ability as that of Bobby Hutcherson, Mike Manieri and Joe Locke, even though they all have differing styles. "The rhythm section propels each of the compositions in a spirited manner, always being mindful of Mark's requirements, whilst Farnham provides a good alternate solo voice.
