Improvisational Soundscapes (A Concert for Human Harmony) - Presented by Cosmic Intuition Productions &. Monks Jazz

Cosmic Intuition formed in 1991 after Rashah Amen assembled a select group of players to perform a Miles Davis Tribute after his passing. The trumpeter for the performance Mark "Pat/Homeboy" Patterson suggested that we continue to play together and form a group. Through the years Cosmic Intuition has been a staple of the Austin scene, performing at The Victory Grill, McCullough Theatre, Boyd Vance Theatre, Mabee Ballroom, The Spider House Ballroom, King-Seabrook Chapel and many other venues. Several great Austin Musicians have been members of Cosmic Intuition including Ephraim Owens, Martin Banks, Michael Malone, Richard Price, Melvin Welborn, Edwin Livingston and Chandra Washington to name a few.
