Criss Cross Jazz 1208 CD

David Kikoski Trio

Surf's Up

One of the more ideal ensemble combinations in jazz is the piano trio, with David Kikoski serving as a major proponent of the genre.

For his fourth Criss Cross album to date Kikoski leads a powerhouse trio with bassist James Genus and master-drummer Jeff 'Tain' Watts.

Surf's Up is easily Kikoski's best to date, giving him space to romp through a diverse set of tunes covering everthing from Brazilian sambas to pop masterpieces by Frank Zappa and Brian Wilson.

	1.	Oh No (Frank Zappa)
	2.	Cardboard (Charlie Parker)
	3.	Four In One (Thelonious Monk)
	4.	A Noite Do Meu Bem (Dolores Duran)
	5.	Little Melonae (Jackie McLean)
	6.	Surf's Up (Brian Wilson)
	7.	Bird Feathers (Charlie Parker)
