Trombonist Jay Vonada leads a quartet with Kirk Reese/p, Bob Hart/b and Kevin Low for a swinging mix of originals and jazz standards. Vonada has a warm and rich tone, glowing on the bluesy gospel’d “Inspired” and swinging easy on “Midnight Waltz” while cozy by the fireplace on a breathy “Darn That Dream.” Lowe’s cymbals caress Reese’s piano on a romantic “Serenity” and the team saunters for Vonada’s use of the plunger for “Summer Daze.” Some hip Latin grooves are served by Reese on the Afro Cuban “Sisaroo” and the team hits hard for the hard bopper “United.” Vonada slides home safely with this one.
