Mirrors by Alex Sipiagin
This is Russian trumpet star Alex Sipiagin's third outing on Criss Cross.
This time, as before, in the company of a group of New York jazz greats: tenorist Seamus Blake and guitarist Adam Rogers plus a rhythm section consisting of piano star David Kikoski, with bassist Boris Kozlov, and drummer Jonathan Blake.
Listen to the beautiful rendition of "Travel", a piece composed and arranged by Alex Sipiagin and dedicated to bassist Dave Holland.
The CD offers five Sipiagin originals and one Charles Mingus composition "Tijuana Gift Shop".

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.”
