	Artist: Title: Label: Format: Price:	Triptych Myth s/t Hopscotch CD $5 standard or $10/autographed by Cooper-Moore
“Free jazz can be a knotty foreign language to learn, especially without any prior jazz context. Which is why the self-titled debut from Triptych Myth was such an Aha! moment for me in late 2003. … Triptych Myth -- the trio of Cooper-Moore (piano), Tom Abbs (bass), & Chad Taylor (drums) -- opened my ears. You can almost hear the directions unfold before your ears throughout the disc, which mixes hard, left-hook swingers with reflective improvisations. Right from the outset, opening cut 'Stem Cell' pounds a hard line that devolves before your ears and somehow finds its way back to the melody.” - Lars Gotrich, NPR, A Blog Supreme. Hear Stem Cell, Nautilus, & Susan. Cooper-Moore: piano Tom Abbs: bass Chad Taylor: drums (hear too their 2nd & final album, The Beautiful, & this 2005 concert at Roulette)
