Marshall Gilkes feat. by WDR BIG BAND - Always Forward

Marshall Gilkes (trombone) performs his composition "Always Forward" together with the WDR BIG BAND. Produced in September 2017 at WDR Studio 4 / Cologne.
Marshall Gilkes is one of the tone-setting trombonists of the young generation. However, he demonstrates on his new CD KÖLN (Alternate Side Records ASR 008) that he possesses extraordinary skills not only as a trombonist, but also as a big band composer. His arrangements, which were created in January 2014 during a "radio session" in the studio at the WDR Funkhaus in Cologne together with the WDR Big Band Cologne, present Gilkes as a virtuoso instrumentalist and as a bandleader and composer with a subtle feel for contemporary jazz. It was also the farewell project for Marshall Gilkes, who left the WDR Big Band after four years to pursue his solo career in New York.
