Michael Dease just seems to grow and grow with each new record  not just in sound and fresh ideas, but also in spirit which is especially the case here, on a set that brings in a few other trombonists to the ensemble! The core group has Michael's tight, soulful trombone in a quartet with David Hazeltine on piano, Todd Coolman on bass, and EJ Strickland on drums a rhythm trio as sharp as you'd imagine and various tracks bring in contributions from Marshall Gilkes and Conrad Herwig on trombones, and Gina Benalcazar on bass trombone! Only one of the album's tracks features four trombones, two more feature three trombonists, and three more feature two trombonists and tenorist Sam Dillon also makes an appearance on two of the tracks that just feature Dease on trombone. Phew that's a lot of musical playbooking from us and it's a lot easier to just let the record spin and enjoy the interaction, which shapes the sound nicely in ways that are different than some of Dease's usual albums. Titles include "Forge Ahead", "Coexist", "The Real Deal", "Alpha", and "Rufus McWhitman" all by Dease plus "Pearls", "Theme For Basie", "Batista's Groove", and "Nos" the bossa classic from Johnny Alf.  © 1996-2018, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/898068/Michael-Dease:Bonafide
