SAMUEL BLASER. What a pleasure to hear a musically creative trombonist. 

And I am targeting this instrument because we are so few out there who are trying to reach a public who for some mysterious reason(s) are not so attracted to this god blessed  instrument. Outside of other trombone players, who has records of trombone performing-recording artists?  So what's the deal?

I guess one has to be special, not only to play this instrument, but to appreciate it as well.  Appreciating means buying records of  trombone performing-recording artists as well as going to hear them in concert!

Samuel BLASER is one of these special artists who not only plays some beautiful trombone, but brings together on this album a  great group of musicians, who really connect with one another in their performances to bring out the best of  Samuel's compositions.

Samuel, in taking the initiative to let us know that  he is "trombonist-composer-group leader and recording artist." makes it very clear that he is seriously taking care of business.

I personally welcome Samuel to our special tribe.

And for you listeners out there, come and join us. I am sure you will find your pleasure in listening to this album and finding your favorites. My favorites are ' Métaphore ' , 'On 175th Street ' and ' La Vache'.

Musically Yours,
