O’s Notes: Trombonist, arranger, conductor, and composer Marshall Gilkes started his professional career playing four years with the WDR Big Band before leading the famed ensemble in his heralded debut Köln, then Always Forward, and now Life Songs! There’s certainly magic when Gilkes performs with the German big band and this is no exception; nine beautiful selections that are warm and resonant, an example of premier jazz in a large ensemble.
