HERBICIDE
Herb Bruce

Trombonist Herb Bruce is a musician so gifted, it's impossible to classify his playing. He can soar, he can roar, he can be sweet and sensitive, or he can raise the hairs on your arms with his robust intensity and vibrant sound. Herb covers every style, and proudly displays his ability on this recording. To match his enthusiasm and his exciting playing, Herb has assembled a big band with an even bigger sound. Add to that some lush strings for the ballads and some percussion for the pop tunes, and you have a record that covers all the bases. Herb does it all, and does it well. This CD will have you wondering why there is only one recording of this great ensemble. With such fine arrangements, terrific players, and a trombone leader who seems to have no limitations, this is one hell of a party! Herb Bruce is a trombone master.
