5.0 out of 5 stars
Jazz at its best, December 23, 2005
This review is from: Joyride (Audio CD)
This is one of the overlooked greats in the jazz canon.
In eleven spectacularly varied tracks, Wycliffe Gordon (the trombonist for many Wynton Marsalis bands over the years) shows you everything that a trombone can do in the hands of a skilled musician.
Gordon is backed by an impressive line-up of modern-day greats, including Victor Goines on sax and clarinet.
The band rocks, croons, improvises and shows more originality and pure energy that you're likely to find in any recent recording.
The "joy" in The Joyride truly lives up to its name. Try it and see.
