Chris Cody Coalition with Glenn Ferris - midnight tide

"Australian pianist Chris Cody, a sensitive interpreter with a perfect technique and composer of all the pieces, is surrounded by a Coalition that proves its cohesion and efficiency… A marvellous climate, between subtle arrangements and vast spaces of improvisation…there are good examples of this spontaneous creation where each musician exploits the possibilities of his instrument to the extreme. The leader unfurls his lyricism, nostalgic ballads, and atmospheric pieces of contrasted colours… the richness of this album lies in its diversity. It is likely to gather wide support." Jazz Magazine, France

"A superlatif quartet. Chris Cody demonstrates an innate sense of rhythm and melodic lyricism. Superbly driven by the rhythm section of Lacy, he makes marvellous use of the velvety tone of Glenn Ferris who is magnificently showcased by the very original writing of the Australian pianist."JazzAround, Belgium
