In
his recording debut Eric T. Johnson is joined by the contemporary
instrumental jazz group Crosscurrent. The ten original compositions
are evocative and eclectic, from swing to calypso to rock
n'roll.
Eric
T. Johnson, acoustic and electric guitars; Carl Clements,
soprano and tenor saxophones; Ben Cook, piano and keyboards;
Jim Whitney, acoustic and electric basses; Bertram Lehmann,
drums and percussion.
The
feel is spacious and the rhythms are loose, accounting for
the sense of freedom in the playing...an impressive example
of instruments cutting out their own improvisational spaces
simultaneously...
