Amazon.com essential recording

It makes a certain, perfect sense that pianist Bill Evans would eventually enlist a pair of former Lennie Tristano collaborators to enlarge his sound. Saxophonists Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh were students of Tristano from the early 1950s, each adapting their teacher's abstract phrasing and fondness for skewed tonalities. For his part, Evans was enough of a Tristano acolyte that when the latter took his Marsh-Konitz quintet to New York for a stint at the Half Note in 1959, he asked Evans to sub for him on teaching days (check out Konitz's Live at the Half Note for evidence of this stellar group). Fast forward to Cross-currents, recorded in 1977, and you have a near-facsimile of the Half Note band, and they sound crisp and fresh when tackling both standards and somewhat unlikely--though not atypical of the band's collective stylistic sense--tracks like Steve Swallow's "Eiderdown." Evans sounds warmer than usual, perhaps because Marsh and Konitz find so much room in the world of cool tonalities and long, untempered lines. Filled with yearning and a certain heat in the band's mutual discovery, this is one of Evans's best appearances with horns. --Andrew Bartlett

The Problem with Genius.......2001-02-17

The problem with genius is that if you give this album five stars, what do you give the Village Vanguard sessions with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian -- 500?

Because this is Bill Evans playing, friends, it's going to be worth five of anyone else's stars; but on his own terms -- and, frankly, and Konitz and Marsh's own terms -- it's a mediocre session that leaves this listener oddly unsettled. Konitz's astoundingly fertile lyricism sounds crimped by the arrangements here, and the horns are strangely unappealing-sounding. Evans' biographer believes that's because the horns are sharp and out of tune.

For this period in his career -- which is, alas, much less interesting than either the LaFaro or Chuck Israels periods, *or* the final trios with Marc Johnson -- Evans is giving it the old college try, playing a little brighter than he was in his by-then ruts with the otherwise fabulous Eddie Gomez. But I come away from this album depressed, rather than uplifted. Evans sounds like he's going through the motions with enthusiasm. I'd rather hear him on the terrifying edge of discovery.

Overlooked Gem.......2001-01-20

The Bill Evans lyrical quality and versatility gains added expression with Crosscurrents as Lee Konitz adds a dimension to the Evans melodic lines that only someone who was on Bill Evans' wavelength could have mastered. It is important that this was a release that Bill Evans wanted to release during his lifetime, and therefore must have appreciated the Evans-Konitz connection on the album. This also become obvious when you compare the difference between an album like Crosscurrents and the posthumous release of Evans and Stan Getz.

New Age Fusion at its Best.......2006-02-12

Probably the most successful CD on the Narada Equinox label. Highly enjoyable mix of jazz, new age and light world music. Excellent synth textures with percussion and some sax.

OUTSTANDING INTRODUCTION TO GEORGIAN POLOPHONY!.......2000-01-02

A Group of Musicians and vocalists preforms songs from all over Georgia. Not only is there a lot of culture involved but it sounds magical and ethereal with enough variety to keep things interesting. Don't worry if this CD sounds a little inconsistent at first because Ensemble Georgika improves with each listen. The styles range from upbeat work songs (tracks 1,3,4) to heavenly sounding Hymns (tracks 12-17) to love songs (Tracks 23,24) and a spine-tingling table song (track 6). Tracks (5, 22,and 25) are flute and sting instrumentals comparable to track 35 on the Golden Fleece (another Georgian CD.) While track 14 is found on Sacred and ritual music of Georgia several tracks can be fond on Georgian voices by the Rustavi Choir. Track 26, a historical song, is one of the most delectable tracks sounding somewhat like an English marabel with women and children singing along with the men.

good CD but don't buy this version.......2003-01-28

I am acquainted with the performers. They are ethnomusicologists and this CD is real folk music, not performance stuff. If you are interested and care about giving musicians their due go directly to Mzetamze's representative, Face Music of Switzerland. Face's website has more information about the CD.

Excellent Disc.......2000-10-15

This is a fabulous disc from an important series--New Music With Guitar. The Babbitt guitar duo entitled Soli e Duettini is fabulous, a must-hear for Babbitt fans. I also like the the Roger Reynolds piece - On the Behavior of Mirrors. Davidovsky's Syncronism is a very important work for guitar and tape, beautifully played by the master, David Starobin. The Mel Powell piece is another very important new addition to the guitar repertoire. The John Anthony Lennon piece was a bit disappointing--it doesn't live up to what one expects after hearing Lennon's great guitar solo, Another's Fandango. The Elgart-Yates duo give a fabulous performance of Cross Currents by Flaherty.
