CRISS 1283 CD    REEDS and DEEDS - COOKIN'-

In the grand tradition of such inspired pairings as Johnny Griffin and
Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis or Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt, tenor titans
Eric Alexander and Grant Stewart team up again as Reeds and Deeds
for a new outing that again highlights the saxophonists' complimentary
styles.
Ably supported by David Hazeltine, John Webber, and Joe Farnsworth
the pair covers a smart mix of standards from the bossa strains of
"Black Orpheus" to the soulful Ammons classic "Hittin the Jug."

CRISS 1284 CD   DAVID KIKOSKI QUARTET - LIMITS -

Limits is pianist David Kikoski's seventh and perhaps most ambitious
recording for Criss Cross.

Helping the leader navigate seven harmonically rich originals with melodies
that stick are tenor saxophonist Seamus Blake, who performed on two previous
Kikoski quartet sessions, and the incomparable bass-drum team of Larry Grenadier
and Bill Stewart, each a musician with tonal personalities defined by limitless
imagination. All are in peak form.

CRISS 1285 CD   DAVID BINNEY - CITIES and DESIRE -

With Cities and Desire, his second Criss Cross release, alto saxophonist-
composer David Binney presents an intense, well-knit suite of compositions
informed by the sounds and signals he's absorbed while traveling through
such cities as Lisbon, London, Toronto, Rome, Montreal, Miami, as well as
his hometown (Los Angeles), his present home (New York), and his birthplace
(the beach community of Carpinteria).

Returning from Bastion of Sanity, his inaugural Criss Cross session, are
bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer-tablist Dan Weiss; tenor saxophonist
Mark Turner and pianist Craig Taborn are creative foils par excellence.
