Posaunist Dan Barrett hat ein ideales Quintett für seine fantasievollen Arrangements zusammengestellt. Umwerfend warmer und lyrischer Sound !
"Melody in Swing finds trombonist and arranger Dan Barrett returning to the classic small band jazz setting we heard on his previous critically acclaimed Jubilesta! This time Barrett is leading a quintet -a perfect theater for his imaginative arrangements, his warm tone and lyrical sound. It´s all here (a) testimonial to how jazz´s musical past has woven its way into the musical present of this gifted trombonist.?" John Breckow, Former host of Smoke Rings on radio station KPFK-FM Los Angeles, California.
