"Revered as the first trombonist of jazz, J.J.'s gift as an arranger and composer were generally overshadowed by his extraordinary instrumental prowess. Although he is in top form here on the trombone, many of these recordings showcase his compositional and arranging skills, which reached their apex in the big band format." - from the liner notes
