Originally released on Sona Gaia in 1987, now only available through CD via Catapult!
After cultivating this imaginative intermingling of natural and studio sounds for more than 10 years, Cooper offers it to the mass audience for the first time on his Sona Gaia debut album, Soft Wave -- six heart-touching compositions capable of making significant waves in the domains of contemporary jazz and instrumental/ New Age music.
Against the soothing backdrop of the Pacific Ocean's surf (recorded north of Malibu), Cooper coaxes a variety of tranquil, refreshing colors from his soprano saxophone, restoring a glow of warmth and intimacy to the instrument that other performers may be overlooking.
