Kenny Cox - Introducing Kenny Cox And The Contemporary Jazz Quintet [Bonus Tracks]
This CD features one of the least typical jazz ensembles in the Blue Note catalog and one of its most critically popular.
Kenny Cox is a pianist from Detroit who built his chops on the local scene, backing up visiting touring artists and hitting the road for three years with Etta Jones. Blue Note A&R head and pianist Duke Pearson heard about Kenny and The Contemporary Jazz Quintet via a Detroit disc jockey. He flew there in late 1968 and recorded their first session, tracks 1-6 on this newly-remastered CD.
The last tracks on the CD appeared as the group's second LP, Multidirection, recorded in Detroit in November of 1969.
