There's something reassuring about sitting down to the sounds of a nice, warm horn spinning up a bluesy conversation over the top of its sonic cohorts. So it is with Jay T. Vonada's trombone. He tells his story over the soulful backdrop of the B-3 sounds of Adam Kurland and the ultra-swinging bass of Jacob Hibel. "Mina" reminds me of why I like to pull out my Jimmy McGriff and Wes Montgomery trio records – the relatively simple blues structures open up the realm of harmonic possibilities while simultaneously giving a little musical comfort food. What could possibly be wrong with that?
