Acoustic Post-Modern Jazz Record Label from the San Francisco Bay Area. CD releases are: an indefinite suspension of the possible by Cooke Quintet, The Is by CKW Trio, Statements by Michael Cooke, Searching by Cooke Quartet (CQ). An adventure in Jazz!
About Me:
 
Cooke Quintet's approach to acoustic postmodern Jazz allows for a freedom of emotional expression. With solid grooves and explosions of energy and sound, CQs music reminds one of the music being played by Ken Vandermark, and John Zorns Masada. The instrumentation is a twist on the classic jazz quintet, woodwinds, trombone, koto, cello and percussion. CQ plays in a cutting edge jazz style making use of modern forms like circle music and experiments with time and rhythm. They use various non-western scales and sounds as central points for launching into improvisations. This adventure in jazz is created by the unique sounds and ideas of the members of the group.
