Cool Friction from Tony Cox

 On the 30th April 2025 we will re-issue the album, COOL FRICTION by the celebrated steel string acoustic guitar player Tony Cox.

The album contains a longish program  - 14 tracks in all.  The record which is one of his most popular past releases, is a production album where the composer is unusually joined by a band. The project in part ventures into a more jazzy musical area this time.

"Tony Cox's much-loved, South African acoustic guitar classic, Cool Friction, is Cox's masterpiece. Embracing an eclectic approach to his particular fusion of African, jazz, blues and folk, Cox and his fellow musicians sweep you along on an aural journey utterly unique to this guitarist and composer." - Media comment.

Tony Cox Live at National Arts Fest.

 The Grahamstown National Arts Festival is one of South Africa's premier arts festivals. An invitation to perform there is seen as an important recognition for theatre directors, actors, film makers, composers and musicians. Tony Cox was invited to do a solo show there in 2005. The show was recorded and this album is the result. Sparkling solo guitar work! Re-issued on Mountain Records on the 5th of May 2025.   Media Quote - " This is Tony Cox in full flight. Recorded live at one of South Africa's premier festivals, Cox delivers up a staggering display of six-string prowess. The man really is a genre of one and within the larger framework of world class guitar players, his particular fusion of whatever inspires him within the African framework of where he lives, is totally unique."
