Search - Conrad Herwig :: New York Breed

Modern Combo and Very Good Trombone and Sax

Christopher Tune | No. Hollywood, CA USA | 01/03/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The style here is modern post-bop, jazz with sax and trombone player leader. A release by Jamey Aebersold's label, with trombone virtuoso Herwig in the leader chair. Conrad plays in an exacting and stylish post bop modern style which would fit in well on a Freddie Hubbard or VSOP style combo jazz setting. All players on this album are New York veteran jazz pros. The tune choice is uptempo primarily new compositions, with a few really modern sets of changes. Nonetheless the bone player is not tripped up (I probably would be!) and the whole thing still swings.If you like truly up, modern jazz, this is will be a much appreciated addition to your collection."
