Joe Fiedler - Journey To Bowerbird (2026) [Hi-Res]

The album "Journey to Bowerbird" by trombonist Joe Fiedler and his ensemble Big Sackbut represents a pinnacle of virtuoso performance and compositional innovation. Featuring percussionist Satoshi Takeishi, the recording achieves a new level of rhythmic complexity and focus. The repertoire synthesizes influences ranging from New York salsa and the harmonic traditions of Duke Ellington and Clare Fischer to intricate time signatures such as 6/8 and 7/4. The music highlights Fiedler’s unique technical vocabulary, including the use of multiphonics and distinctive arrangements for three trombones and tuba. This project serves as a testament to the long-term evolution of the artists, blending elements of blues, ballads, and avant-garde jazz into a sophisticated and celebratory artistic statement.
