About this product
Tenor saxophonist Walt Weiskopf - following a series of Criss Cross recordings featuring his original music for larger ensembles - places here the primary focus on his instrumental voice. Joined by star pianist Brad Mehldau, mega-bassist John Patitucci, and rising star drummer Clarence Penn, Weiskopf plays with characteristic surge, trampolining through the notes as though liberated from gravitational encumbrance. At all times he achieves the improviser's grail of telling a singular story.

Walt Weiskopf's eighth recording for Criss Cross is a ten-part suite for jazz sextet. A celebration of the relationship between various art forms, the suite was inspired by the graphic art of modern masters ranging from Dali, to Picasso, to van Gogh. Weiskopf utilizes elements of jazz and classical music, skillfully integrating improvisation and written themes. The CD is brought to life by Weiskopf and his longtime associates alto saxophonist Andy Fusco, trombonist John Mosca, pianist Joel Weiskopf, bassist Doug Weiss and drummer Billy Drummond.
