Reminiscent - Dayna Stephens CD

For his third Criss Cross release, following Today is Tomorrow (CRC 1345) and Ill Take My Chances (CRC 1361) tenor saxophonist Dayna Stephens presents a fresh take on the saxophone battle genre in partnership with rising star Walter Smith III, himself the leader of the critically acclaimed III (CRC 1328). Complemented by a state-of-the-art rhythm section of A-list 30-somethings (Aaron Parks, piano; Mike Moreno, guitar; Harish Raghavan; and Rodney Green,drums) the protagonists juxtapose their distinctive instrumental voices and apply their melody-centric sensibilities to a varied program comprising original music, as well as the iconic two-tenor standard Blues Up And Down and Bill Evans Blue In Green. Less a cutting contest than a forum for collective story-telling, Reminiscent is a tour de force that will repay repeated listenings.Additional Info: Personnel: Dayna Stephens (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone); Mike Moreno (guitar); Aaron Parks (piano); Rodney Green (drums).
