About This Item
Part of a new breed of jazz artists expanding the mainstream language in fresh and stimulating ways, trumpeter Ryan Kisor's InchAwakeningInch returns to the organ combo as heard on his debut Criss Cross set InchBattle CryInch (CRC #1145). This time around however, Kisor leaves the standards behind and opts for his own originals, which cover a good deal of ground - from the ballad tempo of InchHalem MoonInch to the bop-inflected InchEffing Blues.Inch in addition to Kisor's own bristling solo work, organist Sam Yahel, guitarist Peter Bernstein, and tenor saxophonist Grant Stewart are heavily featured throughout this fervent showcase. On drums is the great Willie Jones III. Album Tracks 1. Awakening Part 1 & 2 2. Sioux City 3. Ufo 4. Harlem Moon 5. Effing Blues 6. What Can I Say? 7. Free As a Bird
