The Trombones, Inc - Trombones

Review by Helge Kaasin

Trombones by Trombones, Inc. is a magnificent album that showcases the beauty and power of the trombone. The album features a collection of original compositions and arrangements that demonstrate the versatility and range of this often-overlooked instrument.

The album opens with the upbeat and lively "Trombone Time," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The trombone quartet of Michael Davis, Mark Nightingale, Wycliffe Gordon, and Andy Martin work together seamlessly to create a rich and full-bodied sound that is both dynamic and expressive.

Another standout track is "Blue Bossa," a Latin-inspired tune that features some impressive solo work from each of the trombonists. The arrangement is filled with intricate rhythms and harmonies that keep the listener engaged from start to finish.

Summary by Helge Kaasin

Trombones by Trombones, Inc. is an exceptional album that is sure to delight fans of jazz and brass music alike. The musicianship on display is top-notch, and the compositions are both creative and engaging. Highly recommended.
