HE'S A MONSTER!!

"John Swana is one of the most happening trumpet players in jazz today - right there with Ryan Kisor, Scott Wendholt, Dave Douglas, Greg Gisbert, Tim Hagans and Tom Harrell. Infact Tom Harrell's on this album and this is a huge call but John is more interesting than Tom here. He's fluent, modern, with heaps of history to back it up. It's a fairly straight ahead session with hip 3-part voicings of standards like Oleo and Straight No Chaser done by Tom Harrell. Should be hearing more of John Swana although he's been around for a while now."
