Our Take

The Coleman-Ahearn Quartet's latest offering, "Cooper Ridge," is an absolute auditory feast for the senses. This album is a rollercoaster of emotions, veering from whimsical whimsy to melancholic musings with such finesse that you'll be left wondering if you've just been on a whirlwind journey through the heart and soul of jazz.

From the very first track, "Moonlit Serenade," Coleman's saxophone prowess steals the show, weaving in and out of Ahearn's masterful piano accompaniment like a dance between old friends. The chemistry between these two is palpable, each note reverberating with a deep sense of camaraderie and mutual respect.

As the album progresses, tracks like "Rhythms of the City" and "Sunset Sonata" showcase the quartet's versatility and creativity, taking the listener on a sonic odyssey through bustling urban landscapes and tranquil evening vistas. It's a testament to the band's skill and ingenuity that they manage to evoke such vivid imagery solely through their music.

But it's not all serious business with the Coleman-Ahearn Quartet - tracks like "Funky Monkey Shuffle" and "Cheeky Chops" inject a healthy dose of playfulness and humour into the mix, proving that these musicians are just as adept at making you tap your feet as they are at tugging at your heartstrings.

In conclusion, "Cooper Ridge" is a captivating and enchanting album that showcases the Coleman-Ahearn Quartet at the top of their game. Whether you're a die-hard jazz aficionado or simply looking for some good music to groove to, this album is bound to tick all the right boxes. Don't miss out on this gem - it's a must-listen for any discerning music lover.
