Tim Warfield - One For Shirley

Facts A veteran of the groups of Nicholas Payton and Adonis Rose, saxophonistTim Warfield breaks significantly from the format of the four previous Criss Cross sides. One for Shirley pays homage to the legendary organist Shirley Scott, with whom Warfield played on numerous occasions back in the early 90's. Terell Stafford makes for a perfect front-line partner, the trumpeter obviously comfortable in the organ combo format thanks to his current work in Matt Wilson's Arts and Crafts. Rising Organ star Pat Bianchi tips his hat to Scott, but does so in a way that proves he's an individualist worthy of wider recognition. On drums the great Byron Landham. Daniel G. Sadownick plays congas and percussion.
