Over 75 minutes of solo and ensemble works for the alto trombone, including the world premiere recording of works by Eric Ewazen and Norman Bolter composed especially for this CD. The alto trombone is accompanied by piano, organ, string quartet, and wind ensemble as well as leading a mixed quartet of trombones. The opportunity to experience the beauty, strength, range and flexibility of the instrument is exploited throughout this diverse journey. It is hoped this recording will help spread respect for this past neglected instrument and encourage others to contribute to its "Return”.
