For guitarist Oz Noy, when he examines ways to reimagine classics, the investigation goes deep, resulting in fresh impressions of evergreens from the jazz canon.
Along with pianist/keyboardist David Kikoski, bassist James Genus and drummer Clarence Penn, they emerge with truly fresh and fun approaches to works by Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, a gorgeous, ballad-like expression on John Coltrane's Giant Steps and more.
Often, reimagination is key to the music's evolution. Oz Noy and his musical friends further the dialogue with this new release from Criss Cross Records.
