About
"Motion" is the debut studio album by British nu jazz outfit The Cinematic Orchestra, released on 27 September 1999 on Ninja Tune. The album's concept came from core band member, Jason Swinscoe, who had amassed various samples - drum patterns, basslines and melody samples - that had inspired and influenced him. He then presented them to a group of musicians to learn and then improvise around. The resulting draft tracks were then re-mixed on computer by Swinscoe to create the finished album. In 2012, it was awarded a double silver certification from the Independent Music Companies Association which indicated sales of at least 40,000 copies throughout Europe. Jason Swinscoe – producer Tom Chant – soprano sax, alto sax, acoustic piano, electric piano Jamie Coleman – flugelhorn, trumpet Phil France – acoustic bass, electric bass T. Daniel Howard – drums Eva Katzenmaier – producer Alex James – acoustic piano, electric piano Saidi Kanba – percussions.
