Search - John Jensen :: Homecoming

In 1999 trombonist John released his first solo CD. In the tradition of a "blowing date" John and bandmates Hod O'Brien on piano and bassist Steve Gilmore play great tunes from the American songbook. Excerpts from some reviews: "Jensen has chops to burn, but he also has good taste and great feeling for the music?.. Jensen's fluid slide work and easy-going phrasing always swing. This album takes you to the essence of jazz and never deviates from the truth." Owen CordleJazzTimes May 2000 About this CD George Broussard writes: "Homecoming is an entertaining mix of talented musicians and great standards. John blends his Rosolino-like technique with a J.J.-like fluency and grace that makes it all sound so effortless. Give this CD a listen-it's a treat." Mike Joyce in the Washington Post writes: "?nothing superfluous here, just straight ahead, small combo jazz performed with care and spirit?? Jensen is careful to give the melodies their due, favoring a warm yet agile tone, a series of truly engaging performances"
