Cosmologic - Syntaxis
SKU
CIRCUMVENTION035
While anyone who has heard Cuneiform's release by this great jazz quartet can attest, there's no way that they came out of nowhere with such a tight developed sound! However, in listening to these earlier albums, it still sounds like them and all their hallmarks are there; the great solos, the stop-on-a-dime compositional prowess, the terrific swing - it's all here! Start with the "Eyes in the Back of My Head" and if you love that one, you'll love this one too!
"Cosmologic captures a raw, energy-laden sound on their second live release. Syntaxis demonstrates a strong connection to the "free" jazz of the 1960s, but with a decidedly modern resonance - new compositions stretch the possibilities of the horns/bass/drums group, and the inclusion of live electronics widens traditional sonic boundaries. A strong emphasis on improvisation is mediated by sinewy grooves."
"Forget commercial labeling, this is real contemporary jazz."-Jazz Weekly, Ken Waxman
