I was sorry to hear that Kenn Cox had passed. I heard him play many times through the years, most recently at 2 Donald Walden tributes this year, the 1 song set at the Detroit Festival of the Arts (called on account of thunderstorm) and the set at the Detroit Jazz Fest, he sounded as great as ever. I went through my CD collection, found a few CDs with Kenn Cox
that I wanted to mention:
Sam Sanders, The Gift of Love, Kenn Cox on 2 tracks
this is a bit of a stretch, never had a CD release, I had a professional transfer of the LP to CD, this is one of my very favorite jazz albums
Danny Spencer & Friends, Live at the DIA, 2000
this is a 2 CD set including Kenn Cox and Phil Lasley, recorded August 12, 1983 at the DIA. not a bootleg! found it at a Detroit Jazz Fest, includes "So Be It" a Kenn Cox composition
Donald Walden, A Monk and a Mingus Among Us (Jazzworks, recorded 1996-1997) Kenn Cox plays on Mingus' "Peggy's Blue Skylight" this was mentioned previously in the thread, but not by title
Donald Walden and the Detroit Jazz Orchestra, Focus: The Music of Tadd Dameron (Emanon, 2003)
recorded live at Bert's on Broadway, Detroit Jun 18 &19, 2002
Francisco Mora Catlett, River Drum (ler Cru, 2005) Kenn Cox plays on all but 3 tracks
Message from the Tribe: An Anthology of Tribe Records: 1972-1977
Has the Phil Ranelin track "Vibes from the Tribe" that Kenn Cox played electric piano on
and a CD that he didn't play on: Marion Hayden, Visions (Equinox, 2007) includes a lovely version of his "Buhaina"
Listening to the Blue Note CJQ CD right now.
