Hear Today Then - Live At Zeb’s

It was Miles Davis's album Springsville that bred the primary inspiration for Cockerham's jazz ensemble, Savoy in Color: A large horn ensemble, playing lush and dissonant harmony, with support only from bass and drums, and space. That's the essence of Savoy In Color's 2013 EP The World You¹re in Is Perfect, with its instrumental jazz tracks that harken back to the Gil Evans-Miles Davis collaborations of the 1950s & '60s. Cockerham takes it higher with this follow-up EP recorded Live at Zeb's Place in NYC in 2015, with producer-engineer Saul Rubin. Hear Today Then features three horns supported by a rhythm section, and add to the mix Cockerham on piano and Britton Matthews on vibes...offering three more Cockerham originals and a new arrangement of Cole Porter's "Night and Day." You'll want to play it on your hi-fi.
