The Cosmic Tones Research - The Cosmic Tones Research Trio (Vinyl)
Portland trio The Cosmic Tones Research Trio reach for the gas giants with their self-titled second album, a deepening of the same spiritual jazz explorations that first forded their river of sound. Roman Norfleet, Harlan Silverman, and Kennedy Verrett layer cello, alto sax, piano, flutes, modular synth, and percussion into meditative yet rhythmically compelling compositions, as the ilk of 'Sankofa' and 'The Sacred Garden' unpack a ceremonial energy. This is music for full immersion; we're asked to breathe with the instruments, navigating reflection spaces where cosmic jazz meets mind-unwinding meditation.
