Trombonist Nick Finzer reaches for the beauty of new vistas and
explores the mysteries of unexpected destinations with his new
album No Arrival. Finzer's sound is solid and extraordinarily wellcentered,
his articulation sharp, and his command of the idiom is
complete. The depth of his artistry is considerable, and while the
music is definitely straight forward and rooted in the tradition with
some hard swinging highlights, the session is also elegantly lyrical
and evocative of a more modern jazz sensibility. Listeners will
enjoy the wide emotional range of Finzer’s brilliant original compositions
and arrangements as they are presented with the able
and captivating assistance of a solid group of musicians, including
reedman extraordinaire Lucas Pino, guitarist Alex Wintz, pianist
Victor Gould, bassist Dave Baron and drummer Jimmy
Macbride. With an amazing combination of talents, some stunning
performances, and an engaging program of musical selections,
Finzer firmly establishes himself as a brilliant new star on
the horizon. His latest record, No Arrival, is an endlessly entertaining
experience that will certainly bring serendipitous bright moments
to jazz fans everywhere.
