Windham Hill Recording Artist Scott Cossu Saturday, January 24th, 7:00 PM Scott Cossu & Friends Special Guest Sherry Finzer $18 advance, $20 door, $25 priority World renowned jazz pianist, composer, arranger, and flutist Scott Cossu will be making his first Verde Valley appearance at the Old Town Center for the Arts. One of the prominent artists on the Windham Hill label for thirteen years (1981 - 1994), Scotts music is a unique blend of jazz, classical and world music styles. An ethnomusicologist who has studied with musicians from around the world, Cossu brings a wealth of experience to his music that makes him difficult to classify. Cossu was up front when New Age was just beginning over 30 years ago. He was one of the first Windham Hill Artists to join with founder Will Ackerman and Alex Degrassi, in their new label out of Palo Alto, California. Scott would affectionately call his music Heavy Mental or Cosmic National Geographic. Considered to be one of the grandfathers of the New Age scene; he was labeled a jazz luminary of the future, by Billboard Magazine. Much of Scotts work exhibits departures from the New Age field and includes a melodic blend of jazz, classical and ethnic influences. A special guest for this concert will be renowned fusion flutist Sherry Finzer. Sherry has won many awards and competitions, blending classical training with music from the pop and jazz eras. Joining Scott in this special concert are Friends: Scott Doser, Art Patience and Bob Carey.
