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.
