About the event
Presented in collaboration with Warriors of Wonderful Sound.
Wonderful Sound 3: Cooper-Moore, Bobby Zankel & Chad Taylor:
As a composer, performer, instrument builder/designer, storyteller, teacher, mentor, and organizer, Cooper-Moore has been a major catalyst in the world of creative music for over 40 years. As a child prodigy Cooper-Moore played piano in churches near his birthplace in the Piedmont region of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. His performance roots in the realm of avant jazz music date to the NYC Loft Jazz era in the early/mid-70s. His first fully committed jazz group was formed in 1970 – the collective trio Apogee with David S. Ware and drummer Marc Edwards. Sonny Rollins asked them to open for him at the Village Vanguard in 1973 and a studio recording of this group was made in 1977 - issued as Birth of a Being on hatHut under Ware’s name in 1979.
