This combination works quite well. For what might have been the only time in their careers, trumpeter
Chet Baker
and tenor-saxophonist
Warne Marsh
were teamed together in a quintet (which also included pianist
Hod O'Brien
, bassist
Cecil McBee
and drummer
Eddie Gladden
) for this
Criss Cross
session. The CD reissue adds two alternate takes to the original six songs which consist of
"If You Could See Me Now,"
"Imagination,"
Marsh
's
"Well Spoken"
and three
Baker
originals. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
