With his stunning debut album Lineage , trombonist Andrew Kim honors his musical roots while firmly stepping into the spotlight. Far exceeding the scope of a standard senior capstone, this project serves as a vibrant testament to years of dedicated study under jazz titans Michael Dease and Marshall Gilkes . Kim acts as both a brilliant player and arranger, leading an all-star rhythm section and frontline featuring Sharel Cassity , Xavier Davis , Rodney Whitaker, and Ulysses Owens Jr. Mixing historic compositions from Curtis Fuller and J.J.
