    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.
