Co Streiff - Russ Johnson Quartet - In Circles Music CD

What cements the relationship of Swiss saxophonist Co Streiff and American trumpeter Russ Johnson, is a shared belief that being progressive doesn't automatically require abandoning melody or groove. Their experience is the best in cross-cultural exchange. Streiff and Johnson coalesce for a wonderful sound, almost Vintage Blue Note before jumping decades to sound as modern as anything else out there. Most groups are either rife with nostalgia or, conversely, exchange method for memorability. The best do both, and Streiff and Johnson have accomplished that with their first effort.
