Sixth studio recording from Neil Cowley Trio; a concept album that weaves a glorious soundtrack of breathtaking music around a magical, thought-provoking tale. Pianist/composer Cowley shot to international fame through his work with bands such as the Brand New Heavies and more recently with Adele (he played piano on both ‘19’ and ‘21’). His five jazz trio albums released since 2006 have seen the group rise to the very top of the UK jazz scene both critically and commercially. On ‘Spacebound Apes’ hypnotic passages create heart-pounding suspense while sweet, whispered themes create heart-shattering empathy. Bold, bombastic tunes create drama, and in a departure from the trio's usual acoustic setting, electronics orchestrate desolation and despair.
