Check it out standard jazz fans, on his second Criss Cross record, “From Here To Here,” guitar master David Gilmore picks up where he left off on his well-received 2017 label debut, Transitions. Here, joined by a quartet of New York all-stars comprising pianist Luis Perdomo, bassist Brad Jones, and drummer E.J. Strickland, Gilmore navigates 8 recently-penned originals as well as Sam Rivers' Cyclic Episodes and the Bill Evans-Jim Hall classic Interplay. Throughout the sessions, Gilmore unfailingly displays virtuosic technical and conceptual chops, exhaustive harmonic knowledge, melodic gifts, luminous sound, and sense of focus and proportion. These qualities made him an indispensable sideman several decades ago during long-term engagements with Steve Coleman and Wayne Shorter, which have only developed and evolved over time.
