The Silent Truth—the third album Tony Kofi recorded at Specific—marked a return to the acoustic quartet format that he perfected while playing the works of Thelonious Monk.
"It was only a matter of time before revisiting the magic of the quartet format…" says Kofi, "…so I thought 2008 was the right time to bring us all back together, with the same line-up, only this time performing original compositions, having solidified our group sound from the first recording,"
The pieces range in mood from the driving swing of "If I Spoke My Mind," to the playful and gently reflective "Cicada," and demonstrate a continuing maturity in Kofi's composition and the sound of both the group and the individual players.
