Shared Contemplations

Joe, the son of legendary saxophonist Al Cohn, is widely regarded asone of the finest jazz guitarists of our era - melodically quick witted, harmonically advanced and relentlessly swinging. SharedContemplations, a marvelous collection of standards, classic bebop, cool jazz rarities and originals, only strengthens the case for Joe Cohn as a guaranteed pleasure, a leader in the field. Featuring Peter Beets on piano throughout, the disc also highlights the strengths of two different rhythm sections: J.J. Wiggins and Joost van Schaik alternate with Peter Washington and Willie Jones III on bass and drums, respectively.
