O’s Notes: Trombonist Nick Finzer leads a large ensemble on The Jazz Orchestra, Volume 1. The lineup is formidable including Augie Haas (t), Lucas Pino (t-sax), Alex Wintz (g), Glenn Zaleski (p), and Jimmy McBride (d). The music is vibrant and dynamic across six compositions including four composed by Finzer, notably “The Guru”, “Just Passed The Horizon”, and “We, The People”. They relax the pace with JJ Johnson’s “Lament” but it’s mostly upbeat tunes.
