Album Notes & Community Reviews

The notoriously jovial trombonist returns with a vibrant, intensely swinging hard bop quintet featuring the robust tenor saxophone of Charlie Rouse. Eschewing complex avant-garde structures, the session relies on deeply ingrained blues feeling and effortlessly melodic soloing. The recording perfectly distills his accessible, highly engaging approach to modern jazz.
