Michael Vlatkovich Tritet - Queen Dynamo (CD)

... Vlatkovich is the finest trombonist improvising today. - Jazz Review. Well known in improvised music circles for 30 years, L.A.-based trombonist Michael Vlatkovich scales down his usual large Mingus-inspired group to explore the immediate intimacy of the trio. Along with the virtuostic Zurich-based bassist Jonas Tauber and Portland drummer Ken Ollis, Tritet's wide-ranging program and orchestrations belie the expected limitations of the trio's instrumentation and keeps the session interesting as well as inspiring. "... The depths of his imagination are so densely packed with the new and the fresh that listening to Vlatkovich blow is to hear improvisational jazz for the first time, every time." -The Weekly Alibi.
