Moments Worth Waiting For

The shift in perspective as Cohen moves to the piano bench, allowing the International Vamp Band to dictate a thicker, more orchestral texture than his usual trios.

The hypnotic, repetitive bass groove on 'Vamp' that serves as a launchpad for spiraling horn improvisations.

The delicate, spacious piano work on 'A Child is Born' that showcases a softer, more traditional side of the ensemble.
