New Vistas by Jim Rotondi
Jim Rotondi's fifth Criss Cross album frames the trumpeter's golden tone in a new context - to be specific, long-time Criss Cross guitar-organ team Peter Bernstein and Sam Yahel, omniscient drummer Bill Stewart, and protean a new sound tenor saxman Chris Potter.
The program alternates white-hot and mellow feels in equal measure; everything is sustained by the inner flame of swing.

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.”
