Music reviews of Trombones Inc.
Music Review: Enter a world without trumpets and saxes
Rating: 5 Stars
There have been many jazz recordings of large trombone ensembles, such as those by Kai Winding, J.J. Johnson, and Urbie Green in the 1950s and 60s, and more recently Slide Hampton's excellent 2002 album "The Spirit of the Horn." This album, which features arrangements for up to 10 trombones, ranks right up with those other top-notch efforts.
Trombone aficionados will recognize many names from this series of December 1958 sessions that were done on both the East Coast and West Coast. To name just a few: Milt Bernhart, Jimmy Cleveland, Dick Nash, George Roberts, and Frank Rosolino. Fortunately, the liner notes (from both this release and the original) give plenty of information on who plays on which session and who the soloists are. I noticed one minor error. The track listing shows Bob Brookmeyer playing valve trombone for both East Coast and West Coast sessions. This unlikely circumstance is explained by the narrative in the original liner notes: the valve trombonist on the West Coast actually was Bob Enevoldsen (who was also well known as a tenor saxophonist).
The arrangers - J.J. Johnson in the east and Marty Paich and Warren Barker in the west - did a brilliant job. It would be hard to pick "best" arrangements from this assortment, because all of the writers clearly had a thorough appreciation for the dynamic and expressive range of a big trombone ensemble. The 10 horns are often divided into two sections playing counterpoint to each other, and sometimes three sections when the bass trombones are off doing their own thing. This produces a quasi-big band sound with the sections playing off each other just as saxes, trumpets, and bones commonly do.
Both the ensemble playing and the solos are a joy to listen to. For students of the trombone, this album is a master class not to be missed. For everyone else, it's a heck of a lot of fun.
