montg Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I'm looking forward to the Kisor, Wycliffe Gordon, and Peterson. According to Jeremy Pelt's website, he's on the new Peterson release: jeremy pelt Just picked up One For All's "Wide Horizons" on Criss Cross---good stuff getting a lot of play in my house. And I just ordered Jeremy Pelt's Insight released this winter on Criss Cross. I have high hopes for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montg Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 I just listened to Jeremy Pelt's Insight for the first time this afternoon. WOW Technique + Ideas... Pelt kept my attention the whole time. Man, what a bright and rising star in the jazz firmament! Ralph Peterson slamming away, in time, keeps everything swinging. Nice touch with the Wurlitzer too.

montg Posted September 7, 2003 Report Share Posted September 7, 2003 (edited) Here's some additional information I just received via e-mail: 5 New Recordings from Criss Cross Jazz. Sept. '03 Releases Jamey D. & Julia Aebersold Sept. 6th, 2003 In this issue we take an in depth look at five brand new recordings from Criss Cross Records WYCLIFFE GORDON - DIG THIS!! $14.95 Wycliffe Gordon's fourth Criss Cross release features tenor saxophonist Seamus Blake and drummer Bill Stewart, who also appeared on the trombonist's critically acclaimed 2002 recording, United Soul Experience, plus Hammond B3 organist Sam Yahel and guitaristPeter Bernstein. The mixture of familiar and new company fuels Gordon's prodigious talents as a composer, arranger, and soloist. Uitlizing various combinations of instruments, he creates an eclectic yet coherent program out of funky jazz grooves, blues, and ballads. Tracks: Dig This!!, Mahajual, Old Man Blooz (take 2), Limehouse Blues, The Beautiful Souls, Jookin' The Blooz, Lonnie's Lament, I Can't Get Started, Cone's Tune, Blues Etude #2, Old Man Blooz (take 1) Featuring: Wycliffe Gordon - Trombone, Seamus Blake - Tenor Sax, Peter Bernstein - Guitar, Sam Yahel - Hammond B3 organ, Bill Stewart - Drums RYAN KISOR - AWAKENING $14.95 Part of a new breed of jazz artists expanding the mainstream language in fresh and stimulating ways, trumpeter Ryan Kisor's Awakening returns to the organ combo as heard on his debut Criss Cross set Battle Cry. This time around however, Kisor leaves the standards behind and opts for his own originals, which cover a good deal of ground - from the ballad tempo of Harlem Moon to the bop-inflected Effing Blues. In addition to Kisor's own bristling solo work, organist Sam Yahel, guitarist Peter Bernstein, and tenor saxophonist Grant Stewart are heavily featured throughout this fervent showcase. On drums the great Willie Jones III. Tracks: Awakening Part 1 & 2, Sioux City, UFO, Harlem Moon, Effing Blues, What Can I Say?, Free As A Bird Featuring: Ryan Kisor - Trumpet, Grant Stewart - Tenor Sax, Peter Bernstein - Guitar, Sam Yahel - Hammond B3 organ, Willie Jones III - Drums RALPH PETERSON - TESTS OF TIME $14.95 For his third Criss Cross release with his quintet of up-and-coming stars - trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, tenor saxophonist Jimmy Greene, pianist Orrin Evans, and bassist Eric Revis - Ralph Peterson offers his most mature and accomplished album yet. Like his mentor, Art Blakey, Peterson shapes the flow, stamping a set of primarily original music with his inimitable rhythmic personality. Tracks: Respect For Truth, Tests Of Time, I Love You, Telepathy, Neo Terra, Ballad For Queen Tiye, Prayer For Columbine, When I Fall In Love, Question, Cheryl, Dark Prince Featuring: Ralph Peterson - Drums, Jeremy Pelt - Trumpet/Flugelhorn, Jimmy Greene - Tenor & Soprano Sax, Orrin Evans - Piano, Eric Revis - Bass JOHN SWANA - ON TARGET $14.95 Thirteen years and seven recordings after beginning his association with Criss Cross, John Swana presents his first album as the sole front-line horn. Spurred by an ace rhythm section comprising Dutch guitar great Jesse Van Ruller, bass megastar John Patitucci, and young drum lion Eric Harland, the Philadelphia based trumpeter rises to the occasion sensationally, navigating eight original compositions with the melodic flair and technical prowess that have stamped him as a long-time Criss Cross favorite. Like the rest of Swana's recorded oeuvre, On Target testifies to his world-class talent, his ability to flourish in the company of jazz grandmasters, an elite cohort to which he clearly belongs. Featuring: John Swana - Trumpet/Flugelhorn, Jesse van Ruller - Guitar, John Patitucci - Bass, Eric Harland - Drums ADAM ROGERS - ALLEGORY $14.95 Following up on his strong 2002 debut, Art of the Invisible, guitarist Adam Rogers returns with the remarkable Allegory. The lineup from the first record, pianist Edward Simon, bassist Scott Colley, drummer Clarence Penn, remains in place. But as if that weren't enough, tenor saxophonist Chris Potter joins to generate even more improvisational heat. Rogers once again proves himself to be one of the most musical, technically gifted players on the scene. His wholly original program ranges from the acoustic ballad Red Leaves to the dizzyingly complex New Fast to the haunting, hard swinging Phyrigia. Tracks: Confluence, Phyrigia, Was, Genghis, Angle Of Repose, Orpheus, Red Leaves, Cleveland, Purpose, Angle Of Repose Featuring: Adam Rogers - Guitar, Chris Potter - Tenor Sax, Edward Simon - Piano, Scott Colley - Bass, Clarence Penn - Drums Invite someone to join our jazz news letter today! info@doubletimerecords.com www.doubletimerecords.com Edited October 5, 2003 by montg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Nice to see Sam Yahel on these records. But why didn't Wycliffe call me?! I'll definately be picking up Wycliffe's and Kisor's. In other news, Ron Blake's new disc is coming out Sept. 23rd too. Not sure of the label right now but it has Joey DeFrancesco on it for all you organ buffs. I will be touring with Ron at the end of the month to support the disc.

Vincent, Paris Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 The September Criss Cross albums are now listed with their covers on Criss Cross website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montg Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Has anyone picked these up yet? I bought Tests of Time from the Music Resource. It's a little more mellow and restrained than I imagined, but in a good way--some flugelhorn and flute and stuff like that. I really like the Jimmy Greene and Jeremy Pelt front line. Good writing, varied program. Those are my initial impressions. It only arrived in the mail a couple of days ago. I'd be interested to hear what others think. The Wycliffe Gordon is next on my list.
