Criss Cross Jazz 1226 CD

David Kikoski

Combinations

Available: September 28, 2002

Combinations is David Kikoski's fifth Criss Cross album and his third all-original outing to date.

Joined by bassist Boris Kozlov, drummer Jeff 'Tain' Watts, and guest tenorist Seamus Blake, the brilliant pianist varies his ensemble settings and creative approaches - from strong form to unbounded freedom, from solo to quartet and everything in between.

Kikoski knows exactly how to push himself, his colleagues, and last but never least, his listeners.
