"Ignore the previous reviewer. If you look at all that guy's reviews they are all one star and completely negative. At least he is consistant and I hope he cheers up soon.

Here is a nice album recorded live at a session with Mingus bringing together 4 of the great modern trombonists. If ya don't like bebop don't buy it. Such a dichotomy of approaches to playing the instrument. A feast for jazz trombonists and a chance to hear these guys stretch out !"

Beautiful music for beautiful eardrums! (?)

"hmmm? well, this is a dazzling album, if not simply for the fact that it is a series of LIVE recordings (ALIVE). that such a collection of stylistically different and mutually appreciative trombonists can be found on it is only one reason to check it out. listen to stardust and you'll know what i'm saying- listen to the sounds of the club in the background, and the honestly of the playing...."

"If you're a trombone player or just a person that appreciates jazz music you can't pass this album up. These guys were and still are some of the greatest players. It's so great to hear each of them develop their ideas of the course of the songs. They each feature a different technique, each pleasant and interesting in their own way. I'm partial to J.J. b/c his stuff just amazes me. His technique is incredible and his solo work is a pleasure to listen to. But you have to give up to all of these guys."
