Never Home by Nick Lombardelli
Never Home is a chordless trombone-led album featuring compositions and arrangements by Nick Lombardelli.
Never Home compiles songs and arrangements Nick had written over the past 7 or so years. This is a departure from Nick's 2020 album, Secret Suite, a 5-movement work for a medium-sized ensemble featuring through-composed pieces. These recordings focus more on improvisation, trombone, and small group playing. A lot was worked out together with his bandmates in rehearsal and in the studio. So much is owed to the musicianship and friendship of Elliot, Josh, Sandy, and Steve in the creation of this album, as well as the guidance of recording engineer, John Anthony.
