Head to Head
"Still in their 30's, John Allred and Wycliffe Gordon may just be the next great trombone team. They combine youth and experience to bring both a fresh eye to the music and a healthy respect for the mainstream jazz tradition.  The melodies may be familiar, but the performances are continually challenging, exciting and deeply felt.  Once you've listened to this CD once, the best thing to do is go back and listen to it again, all the way from the start.  This time, notice that extra something that only the finest musicians can give their music." 'You can't teach someone to play with soul.' --Matt Schudel, Jazz Writer for the (Fort Lauderable) South Florida Sun-Sentinel
