Joining tenor saxophonist Seamus Blake on his fifth leader date for Criss Cross - it's his 19th appearance on the label - are 2005 Thelonious Monk Competition winner Lage Lund on guitar, partner-of-long standing David Kikoski, bassist Orlando Le Fleming, and drum hero Bill Stewart, who performed on Blake's 1993 Criss Cross debut, the Call (CRC 1088). It's a world-class unit, and they play with inspiration and ingenuity through a program of 7 ambitious, tuneful Blake originals.
