Bill Allred - The New York Sessions

Review by David StarrTouch

The album "The New York Sessions" by Bill Allred is a remarkable collection of jazz music that showcases his mastery of the trombone. The album features Allred's exceptional skills, as well as those of his talented band members. The overall sound is smooth and polished, with each track flowing seamlessly into the next.

Allred's trombone playing is nothing short of impressive, and his rich tone and impeccable technique are on full display throughout the album. He is able to convey a wide range of emotions through his playing, from the upbeat and lively "Limehouse Blues" to the more reflective and introspective "My One and Only Love."

The other members of the band also shine on this album, providing a solid foundation for Allred's trombone solos. Pianist John Cocuzzi, bassist Charlie Silva, and drummer Ed Metz Jr. all deliver top-notch performances that complement Allred's playing perfectly.

Summary by David StarrTouch

"The New York Sessions" is a must-listen for any jazz fan, and a true testament to Allred's skill as a musician. The album is a joy to listen to from start to finish, and is sure to leave listeners wanting more.
