Zhenya Strigalev's Smiling Organizm

Alto saxist Zhenya Strigalev juices up retro-minded postbop with cutting-edge grooves and madcap intensity on his excellent latest, Robin Goodie. As on the disc, he appears here with a stellar band, including trumpeter Alex Sipiagin, pianist Aaron Parks, bassists Matt Garrison and Matt Penman, and drummer Eric Harland.
