Roxy Coss: the debut album
Saxophonist and Flutist Roxy Coss is changing the face of Jazz with her self-released debut album, Roxy Coss. No longer can you say that the role of Jazz
Saxophonist belongs to the traditional male player. Renaissance Woman Coss proves otherwise with truly inspired performances on eight original compositions.
“My goal is to explore new musical genres, breaking boundaries and preconceptions of present day music. I want to make music you can feel in your bones, full of
honesty, passion, joy and awareness”, says Coss.
Coss is proving to be a breakthrough talent on the New York City Jazz scene, which is arguably the best in the world. “Coss is head and shoulders above many of
the gifted, well-schooled young people who are trying to get a toehold in the intensely competitive NYC jazz and improvised music scenes. Her multiple talents are
worthy of wider recognition, right now,” said All About Jazz. This album will offer her that opportunity, through a decidedly honest and innovative product.
All About Jazz also 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.
Coss, who has played on stage with the great trumpet legend Clark Terry, brings the experience of tradition to the album, but challenges the boundaries with
imaginative and refreshing material. Her compositions push beyond Jazz and reach into the pockets of Soul, Rock, Hip-Hop, R&B, Classical, Funk, Latin, and
beyond.
