"Recorded at GM Recording Studio, East Detroit, MI 1969 by
Jim Bruzzese
. Detroit has a long tradition of being the farm team for the Big Apple jazz big leagues, but just as important is the acknowledgement of local legends who left their mark on the city by staying put and releasing amazing music right in Detroit.
Kenny Cox and the Contemporary Jazz Quintet
is one such group that could have and definitely should have had a wider audience in their day, but their recorded legacy continues to grow in estimation. Truly a comprehensive group with no weak links, the compositions and playing on this record show the incredible talent and innovation that was brewing in Detroit before, during and after Motown locked its doors in the Motor City. Of note is group member
Charles Moore
, an important figure in the jazz and arts scene in Detroit and founding member of an underground art and music co-operative called the
Detroit Artist Workshop
. A talented musician and composer in his own right, Moore and group leader
Cox
composed all the material on
Multidirection
. Cox described it as 'more of an orchestral-type effort than just a combo per se.' in the original release liner notes by
Nat Hentoff
. Both were integral in the future DIY jazz universe by co-founding the highly influential Strata Records. But before embarking on that journey, his group recorded two timeless classics for Blue Note Records. Like many of the greatest musical albums, this work shines brightest as a whole with new dimensions to discover with each listen. This new and exciting re-issue is certain to provide the listening experience with the best possible platform."
