The sounds of Carl Fontana and the Hungarian Jazz Trombone Company are in a classic mainstream, straight-ahead, loose, swinging manner; in a style that used to be called "West Coast Modern". Ah, but that was long ago, God only knows what passes for modern today. In any case here we've got the style in spades - with one of its masters, Carl Fontana, with three other trombonists, one of them even wielding a bass trombone. The HJTC fits Fontana's style to a "T", it is a heady combination with mellow, velvety sounds galore. And that style is obviously as viable as it ever was - it hasn't changed much. And here it's reached Hungary, taken root, and this group is creating new things within it; as if born to the manor. Quite a tribute to the persistence of style. Granted, this is no longer on the cutting-edge but still a pleasure - there in one of the backwaters of jazz - near Lake Dixieland, and by Be-Bop Bay! Jazz moves on, but as time gallops by, I find myself luxuriating in these warm backwaters! Joe Muranyi (New York, 1998)
