homage: Jim Cohn

As his mother Lois lay dying of cancer in the summer of 2006, Jim Cohn began tracking sessions as if to create a space in which he could deal with her loss. Taking heart from her exemplary life in pieces such as "Green Dress, White Shoes," "Higher Power," "Down Here," "Lois," and "Slips Away," homage reflects on family, the generations, and our place in the tree of life. Two-years in the making, with strong rhythym and blues influences, homage gives voice to faith and remembrance in the face of loss and emptiness. MusEx Records, 2007. CD.
