O’s Notes: Trombonist Joe Fiedler leads Big Sackbut, a quartet featuring Ryan Keberle (tb), Luis Bonilla (tb) and Jon Sass (tuba), yes there are three trombones and no drummer! The beauty of Joe’s band is the clarity, crispness and blended harmonies with really clean tones. It’s like magic and the atypical grouping sounds complete and satisfying over nine classics. The session was recorded Live in Graz December 2019. Sackbut (a Baroque era slide trombone) bands are not as uncommon as you’d think and date back to the 1800’s. Fiedler’s crew is on point.
