RICHMOND, Calif., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- George Cotsirilos pushes into new frontiers with the May 20 release of "Refuge" (OA2). The guitarist and composer's follow-up to his acclaimed 2018 album "Mostly in Blue" again features his quartet—pianist Keith Saunders, bassist Robb Fisher, and drummer Ron Marabuto—but repositions them both in pursuit of new challenges and, if anything, even more "in blue."

  • RICHMOND, Calif., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- George Cotsirilos pushes into new frontiers with the May 20 release of "Refuge" (OA2).
  • Cotsirilos added piano to his longtime trio in 2018, hoping to express the denser harmonies he was hearing in his writing.
  • (He comes by that seasoning honestly: Though based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Cotsirilos was born and raised in Chicago.)
  • While Cotsirilos is the album's leader and composer, the quartet functions very much on a level playing field.
