Die CD VOYAGE ist ebenfalls erhältlich über www.jazzhausmusik.de (JHM 167)
Like the late Don Cherry, Bauer has long enjoyed a rare ability to draw other music (from folk fundamentals to digital programming) into jazz without forcing the fit. On Voyage, Bauer’s new band of the same name finds much more sustenance in textures and snaking melodies than it does in traditional jazz theme-solo structure. Bassist Ugonna Okegwo, drummer Ted Poor and saxophonist Chris Bacas are up for it, and Cohen is a revelation – trumpet, flute and soul without words.
