Album Review: MicroCosmo from Micro Corgi
Album: MicroCosmo Artist: Micro Corgi Website: https://microcorgi.com/ https://microcorgi.bandcamp.com/album/microcosmos The New York City based outfit MicroCorgi are a jazz trio, comprised of pianist Andrew McGowan, guitarist Yuto Kanazawa, and drummer Ilya Dynov. Their 2020 debut release MicroCosmos sees the trio combining elements of smooth jazz, R&B-imbued bop, adult folk pop, and blues rock fusion. Recorded by Ng Jun Yang, the release was produced by the trio's drummer Dynov and mixed and mastered by the band's guitarist Kanazawa. All nine compositions on the recording are originals, written by the three band members, each offering three of their own creations and showcasing three very distinct songwriters. Out of the three members, Ilya Dynov's compositions demand little more from listeners than to sit back and be engulfed in the tranquil, smooth jazz aesthetics....
