Newcastle Steel Works Band - The Laughing Trombone

Review by Caroline Franssen

The Laughing Trombone, the latest album from the Newcastle Steel Works Band, is a delightful addition to their repertoire. The band's mastery of their instruments is evident in every track, but it is the trombone that takes center stage on this album. From the opening notes of "The Entertainer" to the closing strains of "When the Saints Go Marching In," the laughing trombone is a constant presence, bringing a playful energy to each piece.

The album features a mix of classic jazz tunes and original compositions, all expertly arranged and performed by the band. The standout track is "Trombone Laugh," a whimsical piece that showcases the instrument's versatility and the band's sense of humor. The album also includes a beautiful rendition of "Amazing Grace," demonstrating the band's ability to move seamlessly between genres.

Summary by Caroline Franssen

The Laughing Trombone is a must-listen for fans of jazz, brass, and the trombone. The Newcastle Steel Works Band has once again proven their skill and musicality with this superb album.
