The debut album from Criss Cross label supergroup Opus 5, 2011's Introducing Opus 5 is an engaging collaborative post-bop affair that soars upon the group members' prodigious talents. Featured here are saxophonist Seamus Blake, trumpeter Alex Sipiagin, pianist David Kikoski, bassist Boris Kozlov, and drummer Donald Edwards. Born in the tradition of groups like Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Horace Silver's bands, and Charles Mingus' ensembles, Opus 5 has delivered an album of adventurous, sophisticated jazz. ~ Matt Collar
