Alternate Side by Tim Ries
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.
Sidemen: Greg Gisbert - trumpet, Michael Davis - trombone, Ben Monder - guitar, Larry Goldings - piano, organ, John Patitucci - bass, Billy Drummond - drums and Stacy Shames - harp.

Criss Cross Records captures the aesthetic essence of cutting-edge hardcore New York jazz more consistently than any other label on 420+ albums recorded.. Founder Gerry Teekens (1935-2019), a linguistics professor by day and a semi-professional drummer by night, was a connoisseur of groove -- he operated by the motto, “If you have a great band, but not a great drummer, forget it.”
