Sonny Criss - I'll Catch The Sun! (1994)

personnel :

Sonny Criss - alto saxophone
Hampton Hawes - piano
Monty Budwig - bass
Shelly Manne - drums

Altoist Sonny Criss made some of his finest recordings for Prestige during the mid- to late '60s; I'll Catch the Sun was the seventh and final. Since this CD reissue is only 35 minutes long, it is overly brief, but the straight-ahead music (featuring Criss with pianist Hampton Hawes, bassist Monty Budwig, and drummer Shelly Manne) is often excellent as the altoist performs two blues, two standards (including a passionate "Cry Me a River"), and two forgotten pop tunes from the era.~Scott Yanow
