In Focus by Michael Karn
On his leader debut, after a decade of dues paying, the 33-year-old tenor saxophonist Michael Karn shows he's more than ready for prime time, framing his huge sound, clever lines, and forceful swing with an A-list ensemble, including Peter Bernstein on guitar, pianist David Hazeltine, bassist Reuben Rogers, and drummer Gregory Hutchinson.

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.”
