About this album

Bob Brookmeyer And Friends is a graceful, swinging showcase for one of jazz’s most distinctive valve trombonists. Issued in 1965, the album finds Brookmeyer in an intimate small-group setting, balancing relaxed lyricism with the harmonic sophistication that made him such a valued player, arranger and composer. The programme moves between originals and standards such as Misty and Skylark, letting Brookmeyer’s dry wit, cool tone and subtle phrasing come to the fore. For listeners drawn to mid-60s jazz that values feel, clarity and melodic intelligence over flash, this is one of Brookmeyer’s most approachable and rewarding recordings.
