Info for This Is Criss!
„Along with tenor saxophonist Harold Land, altoist Sonny Criss qualifies as one of the most overlooked giants of West Coast jazz. His sound -- like most alto players of the bebop and hard bop days -- was heavily influenced by Charlie Parker, but Criss still managed to forge an original style featuring a very original melodic bent with loads of bluesy underpinnings.
The goods can be optimally previewed on this great Prestige date from 1966. Backed by a trio consisting of pianist Walter Davis, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Alan Dawson, Criss makes fine work of such rare-bird covers as 'Sunrise, Sunset' and 'When Sunny Gets Blue.' There are also some fine originals here, including Criss' own 'Steve's Blues' and Davis' classic 'Greasy.' A perfect start to your Criss collection.“ (Stephen Cook)
