The Ideal Trombone Sound
09/13/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Young trombonists everywhere - in my opinion, this is how a trombone should sound. Mr. Alessi has the perfect sound, the sound that every serious trombonist aims for. Though the C.D. doesn't boast a variety of music (it's predominantly 20th century American), it is all fantastic music, the best of its kind. The last track is amazing, five of the greatest trombonists around, all playing together, it's outstanding. Serious trombone students, this is a good addition to your C.D. collection. This is the sound to aim for."
Joseph Alessi

"
This record is mislabeled: it is really music played by Joseph Alessi, the principal trombonist of the New York Philharmonic. You should fix that. Joe Alessi's playing is a whole level above that of any other trombonist playing now or in the past. He is the first player of his instrument to deserve to be referred to as a major artist."
Should be 10 stars

"What is there to be said that the reviewers below have not already. As a trombonist, this is one of a handful of recordings that brings me to my knees. Fabulous playing, fabulous tone, fabulous intonation - Joe Alessi is world class. This is my favorite of his CD's, and I own them all. Trombone players: This is an essential recording."
