Boss Bones by Wycliffe Gordon
For his seventh Criss Cross recording, Wycliffe Gordon pairs off with Andre Hayward, his long-time partner in the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra trombone section, for a carefree, straightforward, swinging romp through various nooks and crannies of the jazz and Broadway songbooks, as well as the several varieties of the blues.
Pianist Mike LeDonne, bassist John Webber, and drum giant Kenny Washington push, prod, and complement the flow throughout.

Criss Cross Records captures the aesthetic essence of cutting-edge hardcore New York jazz more consistently than any other label on 420+ albums recorded.. Founder Gerry Teekens (1935-2019), a linguistics professor by day and a semi-professional drummer by night, was a connoisseur of groove -- he operated by the motto, “If you have a great band, but not a great drummer, forget it.”
