Roswell Rudd - Trombone for Lovers (2013)

Legendary trombonist Roswell Rudd has put together a recording of pieces that bring him back to another time and place, those that spark images of the past and the emotions tied to them. The musical pieces chosen have become standards of American song, most of the selections stemming from Rudd s recollections of childhood when he would sing the songs in school or in church. Trombone for Lovers brought together not only a collection of fantastic music but also a tremendous assortment of musical talent, including slide trumpeter Steven Bernstein (Sex Mob), violinist Michael Doucet (BeauSoleil), bassist Ira Coleman, guitarists Rolf Sturn and Gary Lucas along with vocalists Bob Dorough, Fay Victor and Heather Masse.
