Criss Cross Jazz 1269 CD

Grant Stewart

Grant Stewart + 4

Grant Stewart's third Criss Cross date as a leader features the spirited interplay between the tenor saxophonist and his longtime band mate, guitarist Joe Cohn. Stewart's brawny, expressive solos contrast nicely with Cohn's fleet yet temperate lines.

Supported by an active rhythm section, including star pianist Bill Charlap, bassist Paul Gill, and drummer Willie Jones III, Stewart and Cohn burn through a program of standards, plus an original composition by Cohn's father, jazz great Al Cohn.

1. You 'N' Me (Al Cohn)
2. Yesterdays (Jerome Kern)
3. Cohn On The Cob (Joe Cohn)
4. Limehouse Blues (Phillip Braham / Douglas Furber)
5. The Folks Who Live On The Hill (Jerome Kern / Oscar Hammerstein)
6. Sabia (Antonio Carlos Jobim)
7. Lonely Town (Leonard Bernstein / Betty Comden / Adolph Greene)
8. You Leave Me Breathless (Frederick Hollander / Ralph Freed)
