Craig Klein - New Orleans Trombonisms

Review by Makuandchic Maku

New Orleans Trombonisms by Craig Klein is a stunning album that showcases the incredible talent and artistry of the New Orleans trombone tradition. With 12 tracks of soulful, bluesy, and groovy music, this album takes the listener on a journey through the rich history and culture of New Orleans.

Klein, a veteran trombonist and member of the renowned New Orleans band Bonerama, brings his signature sound and style to each track on the album. His playing is both technically impressive and emotionally expressive, conveying a deep sense of joy, sorrow, and everything in between.

The album features a mix of original compositions and covers of classic New Orleans tunes, such as "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "Iko Iko." The arrangements are masterfully crafted, with each instrument - trombone, trumpet, saxophone, piano, bass, and drums - working together to create a rich and dynamic sound.
