  • Description

    In a joyous reunion after a long, 7-year hiatus, the Neil Cowley Trio reconvene giving rise to a creatively inspired recording, 'Entity', their 7th studio album.

    In 2006 the Neil Cowley Trio burst onto the scene with an exciting sound that fizzed with energy; their muscular anthems, galloping grooves and tender moments placed them at the forefront of the new 'post jazz' movement, paving the way for 6 highly acclaimed albums over 10 years. Cowley then pressed 'pause' to pursue a solo career - no less successful - with a focus on electronica. Now, stirred by his extended time of solitary music making, he makes a firm statement about the joy, comfort and the rewards of human connection in the digital age. Joining Cowley are his close musical allies, bassist Rex Horan and drummer Evan Jenkins; three friends giving their all to each other.

    Cowley is a brilliant composer and dazzling pianist and the trio flame still burns bright. 'Entity' is a magnificent return to form cementing the 'Neil Cowley Trio sound' - head-nodding wonky grooves, killer melodies, emotionally charged pieces with a glass like fragility laced throughout. It is a mature, sophisticated album of deeply impassioned music, delicate beauty, hooks aplenty and an ode to friendship.

    Available as 4-panel digipak CD and classic black vinyl editions, with unique artwork for both formats by Dan Buckley @ Thumbcrumble.

    Produced, mixed and engineered by Ethan Johns
    Mastered by Tony Cousins
    Vinyl cut by James Kedwards

    "Entity is a startling album. It's a compellingly original journey that the trio take us on. I whole-heartedly recommend you take the journey too, it's an experience you won't forget. To my ears, it's nothing short of a masterpiece of music-making." - ***** UK Vibe



    "A masterclass in tension and release where even the most reflective of songs conceal telling hooks" - **** MOJO



    "They're back - and as mysterious, melancholic and mesmerising as ever...a must for fans." - **** Jazzwise



    "This is an album filled with melody, sophisticated playing, immediately catchy hooks, and, as always from Cowley, some witty track titles..an album in which joy and sonic beauty abound." - UK Jazz News



    "Cowley is a master of mood...Entity exudes control and restraint...reveals a composer creating music that's understated but still varied in colour and character" - The List
