ELEMENTAL MUSIC / CRISS CROSS MELVIN RHYNE BOSS ORGAN The seminal 1993 Criss Cross album by the late Melvin Rhyne issued for the very first time on vinyl as a 2LP set on high quality 180g audiophile vinyl. Mel Rhyne organ, Joshua Redman tenor sax, Peter Bernstein guitar, Kenny Washington drums. Mel Rhyne, best known for his association in the 1960s with Wes Montgomery, re-emerged with this Criss Cross album as one of the finest jazz organists around. He is matched here with guitarist Peter Bernstein, drummer Kenny Washington, and the (then) young tenor great Joshua Redman for a set of good-natured and often hard-swinging performances. The music is consistently stimulating and swinging. Scott Yanow All Music
