Jazz / Post-Bop; Contemporary Jazz
Recorded: Jun 3, 2000
On Alternate Side, his second Criss Cross session, the saxophonist-composer Tim Ries, who toured with the Rolling Stones in 1999, addresses six melodocentric, challenging originals, a reshaped bop era classic, and the little-known Stones "New Standard" Moonlight Mile from the "60s.
Joined by an A-list ensemble, Ries sings through his horn throughout the multiple contexts of the recording, displaying a singular musical personality.
