Tim Warfield - Jazzland (CRISS CROSS RECORDS May 18, 2018)

Jazzland is Tim Warfield's ninth Criss Cross album, and his third encounter on the label - following 2007's One For Shirley and 2010's Sentimental Journey - on which he frames his singular tenor and soprano saxophone sound with the magisterially funky and swinging rhythm section of Hammond B3 master Pat Bianchi, Philadelphian drum titan Byron 'Boogie' Landham, augmented as on Sentimental Journey by Bronx-born percussion wizard Daniel Sadownick. Trumpet titan Terell Stafford, a frequent Warfield partner, shares the front line.
