About the album

Jazzland is Tim Warfield's ninth Criss Cross album, and his third encounter on the label --- following 2007's One For Shirley and 2010's Sentimental Journey ---on which he frames his singular tenor and soprano saxophone sound with the magisterially funky and swinging rhythm section of Hammond B3 master Pat Bianchi, Philadelphian drum titan Byron "Boogie" Landham, augmented --- as on Sentimental Journey --- by Bronx-born percussion wizard Daniel Sadownick. Trumpet titan Terell Stafford, a frequent Warfield partner, shares the front line.

Over the course of 72 minutes, this group of mid-career modern masters offers a state-of-the-art view of inspired 21st century groove-focused improvisation

His sound is reminiscent of the Texan tenor school, broad, powerful and full of soul.
