Boss Bones

by Wycliffe Gordon

Overview

Jazz trombonist Wycliffe Gordon has established himself as a major soloist, mostly because of his fine work with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. Gordon's approach draws upon the sounds of jazz's New Orleans origins (vocalized growls, smears, etc.) along with the advances of bebop and beyond. BONES TONES is an unusual album in that it features another trombonist in its "horn section," namely Andre Hayward, also a member of the Lincoln Center band. Whereas some jazz albums try to impress with the listener with capital-S seriousness, BONES is a swinging, joy-filled frolic through classic jazz standards (by Parker, Gillespie, and Horace Silver) and a few bracing Gordon originals.
