Criss Cross Jazz 1230 CD

Conrad Herwig Sextet

Land Of Shadow

Available: February 5, 2003

Save for a major revamp of "Lullaby of the Leaves", trombonist Conrad Herwig's fifth Criss Cross release, Land of Shadow, is a program of originals performed by a hard swinging sextet that features trumpeter Tim Hagans, tenorist Ben Schachter, and Criss Cross regulars pianist David Kikoski, bassist James Genus, and drummer Jeff 'Tain' Watts.
A veteran of the Mingus Big Band and Eddie Palmieri's Latin combo, Herwig continues to turn heads by displaying virtuosity of the highest order.
