This blog covers the music I play on my Live365 station: Jazz Note NSU. It is devoted to hard bop and avant garde jazz. Here I confess my faith: the center of genius in modern music is jazz; the center of genius in jazz is hard bop, and especially the body of music produced between the early 50's and the mid-60's. And at the center of it all is Miles Davis. This blog is especially aimed at readers who want to build a serious jazz library.
I am glad you've unearthed this great sax player, who could "sing" like no one else. Check out his 'This is Criss' album, which is so rewarding. Greetings from flooded Poland, Bartek
Bartek: Thanks for the comment. I too have a great fondness for Criss's alto. If you use the search box on my page, you will find several posts on Criss.
THIS IS CRISS is very fine. I think that SONNY'S DREAM is his magnum opus.
Keep you head above water, my friend. If it's any consolation,the creek here in Aberdeen is spilling over the sidewalks.
