Sonny Criss • I'll Catch The Sun!

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.

El saxo alto Sonny Criss hizo algunas de sus mejores grabaciones para Prestige entre mediados y finales de los 60; Voy a Atrapar el Sol fue el séptimo y último. Dado que la reedición de este CD dura solo 35 minutos, es demasiado breve, pero la música directa (con Criss con el pianista Hampton Hawes, el bajista Monty Budwig y la baterista Shelly Manne) es a menudo excelente, ya que el altoista interpreta dos blues, dos estándares (incluyendo un apasionado "Cry Me a River"), y dos melodías pop olvidadas de la época.
