Reverence by Jim Rotondi
For his fourth Criss Cross outing as a leader, trumpeter Jim Rotondi has chosen the two-horns-plus rhythm format, presenting a program of compositions by Cedar Walton, Joe Henderson, Jimmy Rowles, Walter Davis Jr., Carole King and others (including one of his own works).
Joining Jim are some of the finest players of the New York jazz scene - fellow Criss Cross artists alto saxophonist Mike DiRubbo and pianist Anthony Wonsey, plus bassist John Webber, and drummer Willie Jones III.

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.”
