Conrad Herwig Sextet - Unseen Universe - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Trombonist Conrad Herwig continues his spiritual journey here on his fourth Criss Cross . Long reknown for his work with Slide Hampton's World of Trombones, the Mingus Big Band, Eddie Palmieri and, more recently, Joe Lovano & Tom Harrell, Herwig's trombone playing is bold, brash & unpredictable. Through musical conversations with the wonderful rhythm section of Bill Charlap, James Genus & Gene Jackson, Conrad's new album speaks equally well to his prowess as a leader & composer.

Original, striking jazz from trombonist in a sextet setting, feat. Walt Weiskopf, Stefon Harris, Bill Charlap, Peter Washington & Billy Drummond.
