Questo disco ci è giunto con un po' di ritardo ma va assolutamente segnalato. È infatti uno dei migliori dischi dell'anno nonchè un omaggio al genio orchestrale di Bob Brookmeyer.

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.

Fedchock ...
Maria Schneider Orchestra: The Thompson Fields
by Karl Ackermann
At the time Maria Schneider released Evanescence (Enja, 1994), big band jazz--especially in the US--was overly predictable and indecisively hanging on like ballroom music in a ghost town. Schneider, while embracing the best practices of earlier legendary big band leaders and her mentors, Gil Evans and Bob Brookmeyer, had added unconventional elements to her own compositions. ...
John Yao: Flip-Flop

On his 2012 debut, trombonist John Yao navigated multiple complex territories ranging from the experimental to traditional balladry.
