Cortex
Cortex is a psychedelic rock, jazz funk band formed in 1974. Cortex is known for polyrhythmic instrumentals and funk, bossanova, samba-jazz, and jazz grooves, mixed with atmospheric vocals.
The band originally included the members: Alain Mion (pianist, singer, composer, arranger, leader), Alain Gandolfi (drummer, percussion, vocals), Mireille Dalbray (singer), Alain Labib (alto saxophone), and Jeff Huttner, quickly replaced by Jean Grevet (bass). The band members found each other when Alain Mion responded to a poster on a bulletin board at the Centre Américain in Paris, in which a guitarist and bassist stated that they were looking for musicians to play with.
Cortex broke up in 1981, but was reformed by Alain Mion in 2009, with a rotating group of members when it performed in Europe at New Morning, Monaco’s Note Bleue, The Jazz Cafe, and Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Winners Festival. The band also toured the US in 2022, performing at The Music Hall of Williamsburg in NYC, LODGE Room in Los Angeles, and the Desert Daze festival at the Lake Perris State Recreation Area in Riverside County, California.
