On DAY IN NIGHT OUT, his latest Criss Cross leader date, Walt Weiskopf upholds the high standards he's set on his previous nine albums for the label. Here he leads a hand-picked octet - each of the five horns is a veteran section player with extraordinary improvisational skills, including Criss Cross veterans Andy Fusco and Gary Smulyan, propelled by a rhythm section comprising the extraordinary young drummer Kendrick Scott, best known as Terence Blanchard's drummer, and the harmonically informed pianist and bassist Peter Zak and Doug Weiss - through a suite of eight heady originals and a rearranged standard.
Walt Weiskopf - tenor sax, flute
Andy Fusco - alto sax, flute, clarinet
Gary Smulyan - baritone sax
Michael Leonhart - trumpet, flugelhorn
John Mosca - trombone
Peter Zak - piano
Doug Weiss - bass
Kendrick Scott - drums
