Tim Warfield - Jazz Is...

On Jazz Is ... tenorist Tim Warfield convenes a group of instrumental virtuosi who have partnered him on his three previous Criss Cross recordings. The group, this time playing more open and free than on their previous outings,plays with a collective simpatico and fire that can only come from a common set of influences and years of bandstand proximity. On trumpet Nicholas Payton, on vibes Stefon Harris, on piano Cyrus Chestnut, with bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Clarence Penn.
