Breaking out of his new age shell, pianist Scott Cossu ratchets up the groove dial with JAZZ, BOOGIE & DEJA BLUES. All three of these genres, as well as ethnic experimentation, has always peaked into Cossu's music over the years, but this release fixes the spotlight firmly on them. As such, the album features high octane covers of Jimmy Dorsey's swingin; "JD's Boogie" and the sunny jazz of the Thelonious Monk classic "Straight No Chaser." The exotic flavors of Latin jazz and Cuban music sway through Cossu's take on Billy Taylor's "Old Man Mambo" and the breezy vibes of Horace Silver's "Sayonara Blues" captivates. Cossu also provides a couple of his own works, which likewise sparkle with jazzy verve and a hint of latin flavor.
