5.0 out of 5 stars Two monsters, March 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Absolutely (Audio CD)

These two monster trombone players are unbelievable. They swing like crazy with great technique and tone, and obviously enjoy playing together. Backed up by one of my all-time favorite drummers (Have you heard Butch Miles with Basie?) these guys are gassing each other, I'm sure....A wonderful album. I have heard Allred has a son named John. Gotta check out the kid to see if he blows as great as his dad.

The trombone playing on this CD is fantastic. Usually, when I buy a CD I can expect to find that I really like 3 or 4 of the songs. On this CD, every song is a winner. If you are a jazz trombone player, you have to buy this one.

Fuhgetaboudit, this is the real deal when it come to great swinging jazz trombone. These guys have fantastic sounds, great technique and ideas that seem to flow like the fountain of youth! You can hear a ton of the trombone roots that Carl Fontana employed in his storied career in this fantastic, free blowing session. Bill Allred's son, John is one of the best bone players working today, but his old man and Roy Williams really set the bar at the top notch on this one. Enjoy!
