Sabir Mateen performs "Sekasso Blues"

The trio Time and Motion have been playing together on and off since 1999. Sabir Mateen, composer of most of the music, is a multi-instrumentalist who has been performing since the mid 1970’s. Although he had been playing for well over a decade, he wasn’t recognized until the early 1990s, when he moved to NYC and joined the band Test with fellow bassist Matthew Heyner. Since then, the two have recorded numerous times with various drummers, including, drummer/percussionist Ben Karetnick who eventually became the third member of Time and Motion. They last played in Hallwalls’ Black ‘n’ Blue Theatre at Tri-Main Center in 2003. This Friday (Oct. 20) marks the group’s first visit to Hallwalls’ new space at The Church. Show starts at 8pm.
