Roxy Coss Moves up the Jazzweek Chart
to #23 and Holds Strong for 8 Weeks
Coss is proving to be a breakthrough talent on the New York City Jazz scene, which is arguably the best in the world. All About Jazz said, [Roxy Coss is] “enterprising, impressive, meticulous, poised, and centered.” These qualities are clear as she takes a front and center role in the album, without sounding overbearing or overdone.
With a strong vision, she unpretentiously allows the music to develop organically and speak for itself. Roxy plays Tenor and soprano Saxophones as well as Flute on the recording, and is joined by Kate Miller on Trumpet and Flugelhorn, Justin Kauflin on Piano and Rhodes, Ryan Brennan on Guitar, Kellen Harrison on Bass, and Shawn Baltazor on Drums. This roster is comprised of musicians Coss played with during her studies at William Paterson University, as well as in her long-time residency at the Manhattan Restaurant 181 Cabrini. The sextet presents unique, tasteful performances proving that these young and energetic musicians can offer a new take on what Jazz is today.
