Tom Harrell - 'Time's Mirror'

Tuesday 25s 😁 an album from a quarter-century ago....

Trumpeter Tom Harrell's 1999 big band album Time's Mirror earned a 2000 Grammy Award nomination for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Performance (album).

"Harrell's regular pianist Xavier Davis, saxophonist Don Braden, and trombonist Conrad Herwig are standouts in terms of their solo spots and this tight ensemble, some 17 strong, manages to nail Harrell's charts with a precision that belies their relative difficulty." C.A. Hovan/AllAboutJazz. Album Allmusic ; Discogs ; Wikipedia


Harrell has released >65 albums since 1976, and has won multiple Trumpeter of the Year awards from DownBeat magazine. Tom's website ; Wikipedia ; Allmusic ; Discogs.
