This CD features one of the least typical jazz ensembles in the Blue Note catalog and one of its most critically popular. Kenny Cox is a pianist from Detroit who built his chops on the local scene, backing up visiting touring artists and hitting the road for three years with Etta Jones. Blue Note A&R head and pianist Duke Pearson heard about Kenny and The Contemporary Jazz Quintet via a Detroit disc jockey. He flew there in late 1968 and recorded their first session, tracks 1-6 on this newly-remastered CD. The last tracks on the CD appeared as the group's second LP, Multidirection, recorded in Detroit in November of 1969.
Originally released in 1968, Introducing Kenny Cox And The Contemporary Jazz Quintet is the first recording by the storied and somewhat lesser known Detroit ensemble. Led by pianist Cox, The Contemporary Jazz Quintet featured saxophonist Leon Henderson (brother of Joe Henderson), trumpeter Charles Moore, bassist Ron Brooks and drummer Danny Spencer. Interestingly, this group is perhaps best known for its connection to the legendary Detroit rock group The MC5 as both Moore and Henderson performed on the band's 1971 cut "Sister Anne". Cox himself was well established in the Detroit scene by the time of this recording having studied at the competitve Cass Tech High School and the Detroit Conservatory of Music as well as performed with a who's who of Detroit players including Yusef Lateef. Though well-versed in the traditions of jazz standards and Bop, Cox and his ensemble resemble most closely here the classic Miles Davis quintet of the mid and late '60s. But rather than merely aping Davis, The Contemporary Jazz Quintet had a muscular and urban group sensibility all its own.In that sense, this is fiery, expansive and cerebral post-bop of the highest order.
