Review: After a seven-year hiatus, the Neil Cowley Trio reunites with their latest album, Entity, a testament to the power of human connection in an age dominated by technology. The album marks a poignant return for Cowley, who, after a successful solo career focused on electronica, re-engages with his longtime collaborators, bassist Rex Horan and drummer Evan Jenkins. The recording sessions for Entity were deeply emotional, as Cowley and his bandmates rediscovered the joy and intimacy of making music together. Rejecting pre-recorded synths and drum machines, they embraced the raw, unfiltered interaction that defines their sound. The result is a record that pulsates with genuine human energy, free from the constraints of digital precision and algorithms. Entity captures the essence of the Trio's signature styleidynamic grooves, memorable melodies and a delicate interplay of emotions. With Cowley's virtuosic piano work at the forefront, the album delivers a rich blend of tender moments and energetic bursts. It's a compelling reminder of the beauty in human collaboration and a celebration of the enduring bond between these musical friends.
