Album Notes & Community Reviews

Uniting three highly lyrical instrumentalists, this session focuses on the subtle interplay between the valve trombone and a dual-guitar front line. The drum-less rhythm section accentuates the intimate, conversational approach to the cool jazz aesthetic. The resulting recording emphasizes delicate counterpoint and laid-back swing.
