Michael Dease - trombone
all arrangements by Michael Dease
Trombonist Michael Dease is indeed "Relentless" with the debut
of his own big band and his first album for Posi-Tone Records.
Seizing the moment to stand out front, Dease conducts his topnotch
crew of players through a series of new compositions and
original arrangements. Featuring performances by several of
the brightest new players on the New York jazz scene today,
including Tim Green, Todd Bashore, Sharel Cassity, Linda Oh,
and Ulysses Owens, Jr., along with additional contributions
from veteran players like Wycliffe Gordon, Seneca Black, and
Tom "Bones" Malone, the entire session stays insightfully
straight ahead, steadily swinging, and refreshingly melodic
throughout. Michael Dease is clearly one of the rising stars in
jazz today, a trombonist at the very top of his game, and a
"Relentless" creative force for jazz fans to keep their eyes fixed
upon for years to come.
