[5]
Peter Madsen wrote that Cox is "open to all kinds of great music from around the world" and that "his bass sound is full of beauty and warmth and his ability to accompany and still add very creative ideas into whatever music he is playing is remarkable. He is equally comfortable playing
chord changes with a Stan Getz or
Kenny Wheeler or playing open music with a Dewey Redman or Geri Allen."
