On their self-titled second album, the Cosmic Tones Research Trio—consisting of Roman Norfleet, Harlan Silverman, and Kennedy Verrett—delves deeper into the spiritual soundscapes that originally informed their genre-bending approach. Based in Portland, Oregon, the trio creates a transcendental listening experience rooted in both meditative stillness and rhythmic dynamism. Blending cello, alto saxophone, piano, flutes, and an eclectic palette of textures and percussion, the album conveys a sacred energy that feels both ancient and forward-looking. It is music for contemplation, movement, and inner journeys. The pieces unfold with patient grace, yet pulse with deliberate rhythms that ground the listener—reflecting the ceremonial spirit of cosmic jazz and deep improvisational traditions. This isn't background music, but an invitation to fully immerse yourself, to breathe with the instruments, and explore the liminal space where sound becomes prayer. With the Cosmic Tones Research Trio, Norfleet, Silverman, and Verrett continue their exploration of sonic territories where the mystical and the musical merge.
