David Kikoski - 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 everything from Brazilian sambas to modern masterpieces by Frank Zappa and Brian Wilson.Also available: Inner Trust (CRISS 1148 CD), The Maze (CRISS 1168), Almost Twilight (CRISS 1190 CD).
