"If you have never heard Joe Alessi you need to get this CD. If you have heard him you need to get it, too. I own most of Joe Alessi's CDs and this one is definately my favorite. He shows us why he is one of the world's best trombonists, if not the BEST! The Carmen Fantasy will knock your socks off! If that isn't enough, listen to Doolallynastics, or Three Gershwin Melodies, or the Debussy tunes.... It's also great hearing Sulek's Sonata, a standard piece from the trombone repertoire. The two pieces with the Juilliard Alumni Trombone Choir are really good, too. There isn't a single dud in this collection, but, of course, there never is on any of Alessi's recordings. Buy this CD and play for it for anyone you know who doesn't think the trombone can be beautiful solo instrument."

Amazing!!

"The Carmen piece is soo crazy...Alessi is the most amazing player i've ever heard. Seemless tone quality, perfect intonation even in fast passages, flawless accuracy in every song...if you haven't heard Joe Alessi I suggest you get this CD first!!"

A pleasant surprise!

"I bought this CD for my boss as a christmas present and he plays it in the office all the time. I didn't know what it would be like and ended up loving it. Even though there is an age difference of more than 25 years between us, my boss and I loved this CD. The music is enchantingly beautiful, uplifting and relaxing. I guess a great piece realy crosses over all generations and musical tastes. Alessi is a master with the trombone. A great buy!"
