If you want some trombone in your life, slide on over to this album by Michael Dease. He leads a nine piece band boasting of four, count ‘em, four trombones, including bass ‘bone Gina Benalcazar along with Marshall Gilkes, Conrad Herwig and an unintimidated sole tenorist Sam Dillon and a rhythm team of David Hazeltine/p, Todd Coolman/b and EJ Strickland/dr. The bold and brassy team works well, teaming with a gospel piano on the funky “Alpha,” popping like bubble gum during “Forge Ahead” and punching like a middleweight for “Coexist” and the bouncy “Theme For Basie” with nice solo work by almost the entire brass section. Dillon gets his share veering through the horns on a lovely “The Real Deal” and richly textured “In Walked Wayne” while the horns glisten like a sunset on the lusciously textured “Nos.” A fun one!
