John Fedchock New York Big Band: Like It Is
by Dan Bilawsky
Trombonist John Fedchock may be a seasoned veteran, but he's not set in his ways as a player, arranger, or composer.

by C. Michael Bailey
Roseanna Vitro is a “singer's singer." What does that mean? It means she is so excellent and still warranting much more attention. Her deep and precise alto is perfectly tuned and balanced.

John Fedchock NY Sextet: Live at the Red Sea Jazz Festival
by Woodrow Wilkins
