Along with label mates Mike Moreno and Adam Rogers, guitarist Lage Lund is one of the most distinctive guitarists on the current scene. His previous three Criss Cross dates have established his credentials as an up and coming talent of great promise. For 'Idlewild', he brings back to the fold his close associates Ben Street on bass and Bill Stewart on drums.
They were both heard on Lund's previous sets, 'Foolhardy' and 'Unlikely Stories'. The difference this time is that he forgoes the piano accompaniment for a bare bones trio approach that is quite refreshing and a further step forward.

The mix includes a few originals and a nicely chosen selection of standards, including the iconic Bobby Hutcherson piece "Isn't This My Sound Around Me?"
