The debut recording from one of the most probing, eclectic jazz groups on the scene today. Crosscurrent endeavors to achieve a musical ideal of no boundaries. The performances herein range from intricately composed to freely improvised. Each member of the group brings diverse influences to his composing and playing, from Indian music to Brazilian, Western classical to American folk. Jazz is the common language and love of the musicians, and gives them the ability to relate creatively and spontaneously to a wide range of musical expression. The resulting music is selfless, pursuant only of a group goal - to create something truly new.

    Ben Cook, piano/keyboards; Carl Clements, saxophones/flute; Eric T. Johnson,guitars; Jim Whitney, acoustic bass; Bertram Lehmann, drums/percussion.
