New Music Monday for April 26, 2021
Bass trombonist
Jennifer Wharton might be considered by many a unicorn in the world of music. In decades from the not-too-distant past, it was a rarity to even have a woman in prominent jazz bands and orchestras, but to have a bass trombone-slinging woman as leader was thought extraordinary. In 2019, Wharton presented her trombone-powered ensemble,
Bonegasm, via a self-titled debut album. She enlisted fellow trombonists John Fedchock, Nate Mayland and Alan Ferber, along with the rhythm section of pianist Michael Eckroth, bassist Evan Gregor and drummer Don Peretz. Bonegasm’s new recording, “Not a Novelty,” features compositions commissioned from a variety of sources, all composers Wharton had worked with and felt a mutual level of musical simpatico that would benefit her ensemble.
