That being said, listeners should approach Cosmic Ear only with openness and curiosity, without set stylistic boundaries, as it's the group's natural flow and togetherness that brings their music into a fresh territory of their own. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Corbett\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e writes in his liner notes: \"The Cosmic Ear. Five souls, sometimes six, on the same road. The pied piper path of Mr. Cherry. Christer Bothén, one of Cherry's main collaborators in his Swedish period and one of the most beautiful bass clarinetists on planet earth, together with next-gen saxophonist Mats Gustafsson, who has carried so many torches in Cherry's procession, and younger Swedish stars trumpeter Goran Kajfes, bassist Kansan Zetterberg, and percussionist Juan Romero. Together a tempo is set, a path is charted. There are global grooves. A berimbau, a karignan (metal scraper from Guinea), donso n'goni. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are ET grooves. Synth, live-electronics, slide flute. The globe is a glove, a hand warmer that radiates with extraterrestrial power, returning the fingers to their place at the center of the galaxy; the Cherry path is a balm that restores essential moisture to the lips that blow life back into the megacosm. Let us all praise warm fingers and moist mouths.\" Featuring an insert with liner notes by John Corbett.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Encore Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47819522769150,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1546\/6351\/files\/WJCD076CD_CU.jpg?v=1771876155","url":"https:\/\/encorerecords.ca\/products\/cd-cosmic-ear-traces","provider":"Encore Records Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
