Mike Moreno - Three For Three

On his third Criss Cross leader date, Mike Moreno convenes drummer Kendrick Scott, who played on his fellow Houstonian's prior Criss Cross outings ('Third Wish' and 'First in Mind') and bassist Doug Weiss, who played on 'Third Wish'.

They frame the guitarist's sui generis tonal on a program culled from the corpuses of a multi-generational cohort of heroes: jazz songs by Charlie Parker (Perhaps'), Wayne Shorter (The Big Push), Joe Henderson (Serenity) and Mulgrew Miller (For Those Who Do); Songbook gems by Michel Legrand You Must Believe In Spring), Johnny Mandel (A Time For Love) and Vernon Duke (April In Paris); plus one apiece by Radiohead (Glass Eyes) and Lo Borges (Clube Da Esquina M.1).

As always Moreno finds fresh pathways through familiar sonic landscapes on a date that is a master class in triological conversation.
