Joe, the son of legendary saxophonist Al Cohn, is widely regarded as one of the finest jazz guitarists of our era - melodically quick-witted, harmonically advanced, relentlessly swinging. His recent work with Harry Allen, Jay Leonhart, Buddy DeFranco and countless others has that timeless invigorating quality that marks jazz at its very best. Shared Contemplations, a marvellous collection of standards, classic bebop, cool jazz rarities and originals, only strengthens the case for Joe Cohn as a guaranteed pleasure, a leader in the field.

Wiggins and Joost van Schaik alternate with Peter Washington and Willie Jones III on bass and drums, Tracks: 1. JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS / 2. YOU TURNED THE TABLES ON ME / 3.
