Triptych Myth is a trio comprised of Cooper-Moore, Tom Abbs, and Chad Taylor, three very active members of the NYC free jazz scene. In their early days, the group incorporated some of Cooper-Moore's handmade instruments into their performances, but they soon settled into a strictly piano/bass/drums format and set out to be a working band with an established repertoire of tunes. Recorded in 2005, The Beautiful is the result of a focused period in the group's development. It's a varied and rewarding set - intense, catchy, heartfelt, lovely - with elegies for Wilber Morris and Frida Kahlo, the funky tale of Poppa's Gin in the Chicken Feed, and several restless, more abstract tracks. Even when their material is lyrical and accessible, the group offers unexpected juxtapositions and arrangements. Cooper-Moore contributes most of the compositions and they are among the strongest he's recorded in his thirty-plus year career.
