Sonny Criss

A buoyant, soulful set that lets Sonny Criss’ alto soar with warmth and assurance — blues-rooted phrasing, bright swing, and a melodic confidence that lifts every tune skyward. Up, Up And Away feels joyful and grounded at once, romantic in its lyricism and relaxed in its groove, balancing hard-bop drive with an easy, feel-good glide. It’s classic late-60s Prestige energy: optimistic, human, and endlessly listenable — jazz that smiles as it moves and never loses its sense of lift.
