On Echonomics, his fourth Criss Cross release, tenorist Seamus Blake performs a program that mixes two melody-drenched "new standards", a masterful art song, a soulful jazz original, and three just-tricky-enough Blake lines that elicit brainy, urgent improvising from his superb rhythm section -- pianist David Kikoski, bassist Ed Howard and the magistral drummer Victor Lewis.
