Nils Wogram has carved out a singular style of jazz trombone playing while taking the instrument places it's never been before. The prolific German bandleader has headed up a dizzying array of projects, each spotlighting a different side of his musical personality. One moment he might be blazing away on a bop tune, the next he drops deftly into a cool, bluesy organ trio format; when he heads into more avant-garde territory, he does everything but turn his trombone inside out. And wherever Wogram ventures, his crafty compositional chops give him plenty to work with.
