Anthony Cox & Cornelius Claudio Kreusch & Johannes Tonio Kreusch - Hotel Casablanca (CD)

Release Date: 07/07/23

In any case, there is no doubt about the individual technical and creative class required especially for such a daring adventure as 'Hotel Casablanca.

The key to the trio seeking 'Gestalt!' and exploring 'Hotel Casablanca' is Anthony Cox. 'He hasn't let up on bringing us together,' the Kreuschs confirm, 'he conceptualizes the moods, he finds the structure for our three stringed instruments. And our project is extremely important to him because it shows him in a different way.' Until now, he has been part of the inventory of the New York jazz scene. Cox has worked almost exclusively there with old masters such as Sam Rivers, Stan Getz, Elvin Jones, Dewey Redman, Geri Allen or Craig Harris as well as with innovators such as Henry Threadgill or John Scofield; he was a permanent member of the bands of Anthony Davis, James Newton or Marty Ehrlich and has himself released some great albums as a bandleader since the nineties. But Cox does not see himself as a traditionalist, but as a free spirit who wants to find new ways in music.
