The Dream by Ryan Kisor
For his fourth Criss Cross Jazz release as a leader, young trumpet sensation Ryan Kisor reunites with the rhythm section from his Point Of Arrival CD -- Peter Zak on piano, bassist John Webber, and Willie Jones III on drums -- for a program of six original compositions, the standard ballad 'I Should Care', and the Dizzy Gillespie classic 'Fiesta Mojo'. On the latter track Ryan's quartet is augmented with the terrific tenor of Eric Alexander and percussionist Renato Thoms.

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.”
