Bob Brookmeyer Quartet
Bob Brookmeyer - Main Performer, Trombone
Alex Riel - Drums
Mads Vinding - Bass, String Bass
Thomas Clausen - Piano
All titles previously unissued! Bob Brookmeyer was very pleased with this session, taped by the jazz department of the Danish Broadcast Corporation."I've played with this working trio of Thomas Clausen, Mads Vinding and Alex Riel many times. We're old friends and the fact that we are so familiar with each other's approaches certainly makes all the difference. I feel these performances are very representative of our work. They are truly the cream of those sessions. The tunes, with one exception, are old popular standards which are great to play on. I've recorded them at other times and in different contexts and it was good to get back to them for detailed exploration in this intimate setting."

The valve trombone is a sort of poor man's trombone. At least, it is not taken quite as seriously as perhaps it should be. Bob Brookmeyer is one of its few famous practitioners, and he has been plying his skills for decades. Brookmeyer is also an accomplished big band arranger, and his talents often veer in that direction. For many, though, he is a much better player than writer, and this recording showcases him in a favorable light as leader of a very fine acoustic quartet, performing a set of five standards. He is at heart a conservative soloist. He improvises at length, his nasal tone and legato tonguing his hallmarks. The note selection is near perfect, perhaps too much so for some. You might call him a gentleman player, the ideal complement for the garden party. He plays the way you might hum a solo, nicely constructed, quietly, and tastefully. Yet, if not too adventurous, the valve trombonist is always comfortable to hear, a fine pleasure like an old shoe or a warm cup of hot chocolate on a frigid night. His rhythm section for this set is on firm ground, with pianist Thomas Clausen, bassist Mads Vinding, and drummer Alex Riel providing refined and perceptive support, never getting in Brookmeyer's way. The group is totally familiar with the classic selection of tunes, from "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" to "Stella by Starlight" to "All Blues," leading to a warm and even lovely ambience throughout.
