This is Criss!

is an album by saxophonist Sonny Criss recorded in 1966 and released on the Prestige label.

[1] AllMusic awarded the album 4½ stars with its review by Stephen Cook stating, "Sonny Criss qualifies as one of the most overlooked giants of West Coast jazz.

His sound – like most alto players of the bebop and hard bop days – was heavily influenced by Charlie Parker, but Criss still managed to forge an original style featuring a very original melodic bent with loads of bluesy underpinnings.

The goods can be optimally previewed on this great Prestige date from 1966.
