BILL EVANS TRIO | LEE KONITZ & WARNE MARSH - Cross-Currents (1977-1992) RM | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

This superior set was a logical idea. One of pianist Bill Evans' earlier influences was Lennie Tristano, so for this date, Evans' trio (with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Eliot Zigmund) was teamed with Tristano's two top "students": altoist Lee Konitz and tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh. The quintet performs four standards (all of which fit easily into Evans' repertoire) plus "Pensativa" and Steve Swallow's "Eiderdown." Konitz and Marsh always worked very well together and their cool-toned improvising makes this outing by Bill Evans something special. Recommended. Scott Yanow
