Eric Marienthal has always had limitless potential. Primarily known
as an altoist but also an excellent player on tenor and soprano,
Marienthal came to fame with Chick Corea’s Elektric Band and tends
to sound at his best when teamed with players of that caliber. Many
of his own projects suffer from overproduction, a lack of
spontaneity and commercial material, but that is not true of
Crossroads. In groups ranging from quartets to sextets, Marienthal
is challenged by the material (all group originals), matching wits
with the likes of keyboardist Russell Ferrante (from the
Yellowjackets), bassist John Patitucci and, on three selections,
Chick Corea. Crossroads contains some of Eric Marienthal’s finest
playing outside of the context of the Elektric Band. Well worth
searching for. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
