Discover what had music lover’s talking after Drum’s appearance at the 2007 Detroit Jazz Festival :
“Kenn Cox and Drum was a performance that I was also looking forward to hearing, as this was the pianist's first gig at the festival in more than 10 years. He gave the audience a taste of his new percussion ensemble, which also included two of the most underrated saxophonists in Detroit -- namely, Vincent Bowen and Anthony Holland. On the opening “Afro Blue,” Holland was tilting forward while playing. It looked like he was trying to pour the music out his horn. The pianist is normally very talkative during performances but on Sunday, he was all business, banging away on the piano like it was a conga drum. Kenn Cox and Drum is just one of many outstanding ensembles that Cox has fronted over the course of his career, and this one surely satisfied via a solid performance.”
