Musician

Christopher Robin Cox

Born:

Christopher Robin Cox is a veteran creative improvising trombonist, originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, who now lives in Budapest, Hungary.

After nearly 10 years away from playing music full time, earning three academic degrees, including a PhD in Geography,  he decided to return to his horn with a vengeance. He currently leads a trio and a double-bass quartet in Budapest and is beginning to tour around Central Europe as a soloist under the name AlOnE.

He brings a huge, dark tone, and a style that utilizes bluesy, gravely split-tones, plunger, and other prepared techniques. As an improviser, he is equally comfortable playing with lots of space and in more intense improvisation settings. He frequently utilizes effects pedals and loopers to create ambient soundscapes that are more akin to movie soundtracks that free jazz. However, during his time growing up the San Francisco Bay Area, he played with greats like Glenn spearman, Marco Eneidi, Donald Robinson, Garth Powell, and George Cremasci to name a few. He has also performed with George Cartwrite, Chris Bates, Nathan Hanson, and Jason Robinson.

Orsi Kozma Quartet

The Orsi Kozma Quartet has been a unique colour on the palette of the Hungarian jazz scene ever since their debut in 2008. Soulprints is their third studio album, and, as in case of a band that has been making music together for seven years now, the sound of the album is mature and is very much worthy of its predecessors – Hide and Seek (2008), Embrace (2010) – yet offers a unique, fresh voice, showing the band’s capability to be true to their sound, yet create a fresh and exciting new tone. This album is richer and much more refined than ‘Hide and Seek’, the formation’s firstborn, which became a Fonogram Music Award nominee immediately upon its release in 2008 and has also been released in Japan in 2010. The songs of the Soulprints album truly are “prints of the soul”: they are mood-patchworks which project an important stage in the history of the Quartet
