Tim Warfield - Gentle Warrior [CD]

Tim Warfield's peers consider he 33-year old a singular voice on the tenor sax. On this, his third Criss Cross release, he is accompanied by trumpeters Nicholas Payton & Terell Stafford, as well as the top-shelf rhythm section of Cyrus Chestnut, Tarus Mateen and Clarence Penn. Warfield displays his full range of vocal inflection, a drummer's sense of time, and the ability to build solos full of tension and drama.
