Description
Distinguished pianist/composer Stanley Cowell embarked on his jazz career in the mid-60s. Ensuing his rapid raise to the prominence Stanley Cowell made indelible contribution to jazz over the next 60 years.
Even though he's been dedicating more time in educating younger generation and composing for classically oriented larger ensembles since the 80's, he stayed close to jazz releasing 15 albums for SteepleChase.
This album recorded October 2019 finds this stately Professor Emeritus cutting loose at the
famed Keystone Korner in Baltimore with his handpicked two-horn quintet plus a guest vocalist Sunny Cowell.
"The Cowell album portrays a fascinating piano stylist with many ingredients under his fingers. The programming, like Cowell's lines and contrary motion, flows beautifully...The set confirms Cowell as a melodic and harmonic delight and a clever dealer of rhythmic wild cards. It's good to have this update." - **** Kirk Silsbee, DownBeat on Reminiscent (SCCD31809)
Personnel: Stanley Cowell (piano), Freddie Hendrix (trumpet), Bruce Williams (alto saxophone), Tom DiCarlo (bass), Vince Ector (drums), Sunny Cowell (vocal)
