Herlin Riley; Cream of The Crescent, Criss Cross Jazz

Long time LCJO drummer calls it all in and has assembled a top notch group.  Eric Lewis and Reginald Veal complete the rhythm section and Wycliffe Gordon, Wynton Marsalis and Victor Goines bring their horns into the hot mix.  This is the kind of jazz you can listen to over and over again without ever tiring of it.  Fast, slow, intense, laid back, tight, loose; it’s all here!  Criss Cross proves once again that it is one of the most consistently successful contemporary jazz labels.  This one is definitely worth your money.
