Trombone Travels, Vol. 2: Songs of Travel

“… Gee’s arrangements maintain the quality and character of the composers’ original vocal writing. And he plays them with an unfailingly elegant, rich, and beautiful tone and, as his commentary foreshadows, n impressive variety of colors and articulation. It’s clear, both from Gee’s liner notes and the actual performances, that we has a great affinity for these songs. Pianist Christopher Glynn is a marvellous collaborator, playing with incisiveness, lovely phrasing, and a keen ear for complementing Gee’s trombone/vocalist role… The recorded sound is excellent, with all performers beautifully reproduced in color and detail… if you love these songs, and are interested in hearing them “sung” by an instrumentalist of the highest order, I heartily recommend Trombone Travels 2 for your consideration.”

“After Schubert’s Winterreise in Vol. 1, Gee and Glynn explore three other great song cycles, this time from early 20th-century Britain. The lines are long and sustained the tone wonderfully controlled.” ***
