Sometimes the saying, you’re only competing with yourself isn’t necessarily true and is less about competition and more about inspiration which is the case when I think about Sean Wolcott who never seems to sleep. As someone with a creative drive and is always on 100, Sean seems to be at 105 and continuously strives to release some of the most amazing music which he seems to do with ease. His output of library inspired LPs over the last couple of years has been absolutely amazing and there’s no end in sight.
With his 10th library LP, Sean Wolcott delivers his most ambitious and cinematic work to date. Cosmic Consciousness is an astral jazz-fusion odyssey on a monumental scale, where sweeping string sections, soaring choral passages, and deep, groove-laden jazz-funk create a soundworld that feels infinitely expansive yet immediately intimate.
Drawing on the lush sophistication of CTI Records, the epic visions of David Axelrod, Quincy Jones, and Alan Parsons, and the global jazz-funk traditions of Europe, Japan, and the USA, this album stands as Wolcott’s grandest statement yet: a radiant soundtrack for inner voyages and infinite horizons.
At Soundview Analog Recorders, Wolcott gathered the powerhouse ensemble that has shaped his past albums, expanding it into full string sections, choir, and horns, all driven by the solid grooves and soaring melodies that have become his signature. The result is his most orchestrated and large-scale work, rooted in authenticity and alive with human energy.
Out September 19th on all streaming platforms. Vinyl pre-orders available now via Clockwork (limited to 300 copies).
