Description: Criss Cross Jazz
Welcome to the official Criss Cross Jazz website!
Based in the provincial city of Enschede, in the eastern Netherlands, Criss Cross Records captured the aesthetic essence of cutting-edge hardcore New York jazz more consistently than any other label on 400+ albums recorded between 1981 and 2019. Founder Gerry Teekens (1935-2019), a linguistics professor by day and a semi-professional drummer by night, was a connoisseur of groove -- he operated by the motto, “If you have a great band, but not a great drummer, forget it.”
On June 30, 2023 we are releasing Vessel ( Criss 1416 ) by the Manuel Valera Quintet.
