about

In 2011 free jazz improvising legend Cooper-Moore traveled to Nashville to record with Ed Pettersen, Jerry Navarro and Dylan Simon. Over the course of two days they freely played and created enough material for three CD's. two of which are represented here. The middle disc of this "The Cooper-Moore Sessions" set, "Occupied", was recorded live at Dubway Studios in NYC with Larry Roland on double bass during down time from recording with sax great Giuseppi Logan (The Giuseppi Logan Project album).

This collection, the first in ten years for Cooper-Moore, is a beautiful snapshot of his brilliance. From his instruments made of found objects to the deft acoustic piano work he was known for with David Ware for over 30 years it's all here. Every facet of his genius in one place for the first time

In addition to the downloads there's a VERY limited box set of all three CD's with custom art cards from jazz artist Michael Reilly housed in a special tin cradled in a tailored burlap sack printed with an image of Michael's rendition of C-M. There are only 200 of these tin box sets available and the last C-M box set by 50 Miles of Elbow Room sold out quickly. There will be no repress (there are no more of these tins! <g>).

Deluxe versions of this set also include a vinyl 10" single of two songs from the Gospel set. There will be only 30 deluxe versions with the single.

All pre-orders will ship July 19, 2019

Migration of Silence Into and Out of The Tone World – [Volumes 1–10]
by William Parker

supported by 7 fans who also own “The Cooper-Moore Sessions”

There are so many reasons to love the work of William Parker and those he chooses to play with, and here it's not only his virtuosity on display, but his gracious heart and the bounty of talent accompanying him to fulfill this work of melody, soul, and poetry executed with precision and grace. Another masterstroke from the master. Why would it be any other way? ps0m
