M-N-Y Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) Hello, Hope you are all enjoying the Christmas break. I am just checking out an interesting video about the making of the new Neil Cowley Trio CD. Whilst definitely in the jazz genre the music is very different,full of twists and is really well played by top drawer musicians. I also like the addition of the strings which makes for a lush soundscape on some of the pieces. This sounds right up my street, as I love the quirky piano trio and strings combination which certainly seems to work in this context. Great upright playing by Rex Horan as well. Looking forward to the CD and tour early next year. Hope you enjoy checking it out.

Len_derby Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Great band. The drummer, Evan Jenkin, used to pay with the Matt Scofield Band and I've seen him with Ian Siegal too. I'd love to see this outfit but haven't had the chance yet. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-N-Y Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hi Lee, As far as jazz goes, or what purports to be classified as such, this is interesting music. It struck me on first listen that this was a bit out of the ordinary. All the musicians are amazing particularly the drummer who really drives the band, and the combination of the trio plus the strings works really well. I am looking forward to hearing the whole album in late January when it comes out. Cheers, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
