Album Notes & Community Reviews

The consistently affable trombonist leads a highly relaxed, deeply swinging quintet date featuring the soulful tenor saxophone of Eddy Williams. His uniquely warm tone and preference for mid-tempo, blues-inflected grooves provide a highly accessible, slightly old-fashioned contrast to the frantic tempos dominating the hard bop era. The recording perfectly encapsulates his reliably joyful and melodic approach to modern jazz.
