Album Notes & Community Reviews
Demonstrating unusual versatility, the bandleader alternates between valve trombone and piano, shaping the session's shifting timbres. The arrangements reflect the breezy, contrapuntal logic associated with West Coast jazz, yet possess an underlying swing reminiscent of Kansas City roots. The resulting recording is a testament to melodic improvisation and instrumental multi-tasking.
