Spacebound Apes [CD]

Pianist/composer Cowley shot to international fame through his work with bands such as the Brand New Heavies and more recently with Adele (he played piano on both 19 and 21). His five jazz trio albums released since 2006 have seen the group rise to the very top of the UK jazz scene both critically and commercially. On Spacebound Apes hypnotic passages create heart-pounding suspense while sweet, whispered themes create heart-shattering empathy. Bold, bombastic tunes create drama, and in a departure from the trio's usual acoustic setting, electronics orchestrate desolation and despair. Widely acclaimed as a dazzling composer, Cowley demonstrates his flair for bold, dynamic, emotional music with cinematic themes that has an enormously broad appeal. The trio have, over their ten year history built a reputation as being one of the genres most captivating live bands performing in a variety of genre-crossing settings.
