Culled from a pair of concerts in Virginia Beach, VA, trombonist John Fedchock teams up with John Toomey/p, Jimmy Masters/b and Dave Ratajcak-Billy Williams/dr for a mix of originals and jazz standards. The leader shows his affections as he produces along with Toomey a soft and reflective take of JJ Johnson’s classic “Lament” while his solo intro to Tadd Dameron’s “If You Could See Me Now” is bel canto melodic. The rhythm team lays down a rich groove for the leader’s post bopping “The Third Degree” with Williams’ brushes sauntering along on the fun “Brazilian Fantasy.” Ratajczak is crisp for the snappy “The End of a Love Affair” and digs a bluesy pulse for the leader as he slinks along on “Loose Change.” Bonafide and without gimmicks.
