About Coming Home

Most jazz fans will have a hard time naming more than a handful of current-day jazz trombonists, but they're out there. One of the best, Michael Dease, mixes a dazzling set of chops with a crystal-clear tone that's equally impressive. Suffice to say, this Juilliard graduate has got the goods. But he needs to in order to front a hotshot band with bassist Christian McBride, pianist Renee Rosnes, alto saxophonist Steve Wilson, and rising-star drummer Ulysses Owens Jr. The quintet tears through a set that features several Dease originals (standouts include “Solid Gold” and “Good and Terrible”), as well as tunes by Rosnes and McBride. Ellington’s always-majestic “In a Sentimental Mood” gets a fresh life, as does Jule Styne’s “Just in Time.” While everybody’s playing is top-shelf throughout, Dease conducts a veritable master-class seminar for other horn players out there, trombone or otherwise, on Oscar Peterson’s “Blues Etude” and Freddie Hubbard’s “Take It to the Ozone.” Recommended.
