The Jeff Cosgrove Quintet is a project based around new compositions by Cosgrove written for this group to engage in musical growth and expression. Inspiration has been drawn from Ornette Coleman’s Double Quartet and the group Old & New Dreams. Simple rhythms with musical clarity to drive improvisation. The development of this project is funded through a Maryland State Arts Council Creativity Grant.
Praised for his “open-time creativity and melodic sense” (Gapplegate Music Reviews), drummer Jeff Cosgrove has pursued a unique improvisational path with varied ensembles, including a trio with Matthew Shipp and William Parker (Alternating Current/Near Disaster), another with Jeff Lederer and John Medeski (History Gets Ahead of the Story), and a quartet playing repertory by the late Paul Motian (Motian Sickness). Projects are also ongoing with Shipp and Ivo Perelman (Live in Baltimore/Live in Carrboro) Scott Robinson and Ken Filiano (Hunters & Scavengers), and rising tenor saxophone star Noah Preminger and Kim Cass (Confusing Motion for Progress). While Cosgrove has ample experience playing beat-driven music with strict time, he is drawn toward abstraction in his own work, summoning colors and textures on the drum set, listening deeply to his colleagues as the music flows and evolves. As the Washington Post puts it: “Cosgrove’s drumming doesn’t provide the music with an engine so much as a lighthouse.” http://www.jeffcosgrovemusic.com
