New Music Monday for December 28, 2020
Drummer/composer
Jeff Cosgrove uses his sixth album as a leader to celebrate the music of former collaborator, bassist/composer William Parker. Cosgrove released two critically-acclaimed recordings featuring Parker and long-standing collaborator Matthew Shipp. On “History Gets Ahead of the Story,” Cosgrove offers a unique take on Parker’s long-standing quartet repertoire by rearranging it for the classic organ trio. Saxophonist Jeff Lederer (Matt Wilson Quartet and Bobby Sanabria’s Multiverse Orchestra) and organist John Medeski (Medeski Martin & Wood and Hudson) push the boundaries to put their signatures on some of Parker’s most recognizable compositions. This is the first album to feature Parker’s music without him providing the undercurrent with his singular bass sound.
