In his debut release, Don Immel returns the trombone to the musical spotlight, focusing on contemporary jazz, chill and lounge music. "Long Way Home" evokes the influential stylings of Sting, Chris Botti, Pat Metheny, Yo Yo Ma and Richard Dorfmeister, in a CD of Immel’s original compositions and adapted arrangements. An accomplished jazz and classical/orchestral trombonist, Immel sends his lush sound soaring through the elements of loss, desire, rebirth and bliss in each of his vibrant tunes. "The best new album I've heard in years." - Marc Seales
