John Fedchock

Veteran New York trombonist John Fedchock, a longtime member and leader of the New York Big Band, presents here a stellar sextet of musicians playing his original pieces and arrangements. The music is not innovative, but rather harks back to a 1950s jazz sensibility, and that’s fine with me. Not everyone has to sound avant-garde in order to be good.
