Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pairing the airy swing of the tenor saxophone with the gruff elasticity of the valve trombone, 'Tonite's Music Today' showcases unparalleled contrapuntal empathy. The relaxed interplay and effortless harmonic maneuvering serve as a defining example of highly articulate, cool-inflected bebop.
