Mississippi Records x Qobuz present the New York City debut of **The Cosmic Tones Research Trio**, Portland's finest practitioners of Great Black Music! Featuring Roman Norfleet \[Be Present Art Group, Angel Bat Dawid\] on alto sax, Harlan Silverman on cello and various tiny instruments and percussive textures, and Kennedy Verrett on piano, The Cosmic Tones create truly beautiful and genre-defying spiritual music. This special NYC showcase celebrates the release of their self-titled second LP, a follow up to their celebrated debut "All Is Sound" \[released via Mississippi Records, 2024\]. That record made many year end lists and resulted in invitations to Japan and Europe for the band The new LP builds on the last, diving further into transcendent sounds rooted in both meditative stillness and rhythmic propulsion. Following the steps of musicians like Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Sun Ra, and Laraaji, The Cosmic Tones Research Trio delivers music that is both restorative and sonically rich— exploring the space where sound becomes prayer. \- Adjacent to The Sound Room, The Atrium at Public Records is a plant-based restaurant + cocktail bar serving a globally-inspired collection of dishes, operating Wed–Sat 6–11 pm and Sat–Sun 11–4 pm.
