Jazz / Bop / Trombone
When trombonist Eddie Bert made these recordings he was at a point in his career where his playing was illustrative of all the eloquence that is representative of that many-dimensioned individual. Eddie had emerged as a major voice on his horn in 1954, when the Metronome Yearbook awarded him as one of the four “Musicians of the Year.” Eddie was one of those musicians on the Jazz scene who had been able to participate in some of the most advanced musical experiments and yet retain a healthy, creative and swinging style of playing.
The primary reason: his roots run deep into the varied streams of Jazz. As a composer, his tunes are an evidence of Eddie’s unpretentiously imaginative, well constructed, and melodically attractive writing.

I used to be skeptical of the Spanish "reissue" label Fresh Sound, but after a few dozen purchases I now realize they are an essential resource to the serious jazz fan. Take the two albums by trombonist Eddie Bert collected here on "Crosstown" for instance. These Savoy sessions have been previously available on CD from the original label as "Musician of the Year" and "Encore," but have been out of print for years and currently have ludicrous price tags as used collector's items in the Marketplace. Enter Fresh Sound who reissues the above dates, along with a third recording from June 1955, as a two-disc set at a fair price, and both the music and the fans win! This title isn't without its faults though – there are some noticeable tape fallouts, especially the drums on the track "Conversation," but Bert's playing is so relaxed, imaginative and advanced that most of the shortcomings simply disappeared for me. The September 1955 quintet session with J.R. Monterose is especially enjoyable, with magical frontline chemistry and interplay. If you can catch this cab "Crosstown" as cheaply as I did, then enjoy the ride.
