Editorial Reviews
Mike Joyce... Washington Post
There's nothing fancy or superfluous here, just straight ahead, small combo jazz performed with care and spirit.

Product Description
In 1999 trombonist John released his first solo CD. In the tradition of a "blowing date" John and bandmates Hod O'Brien on piano and bassist Steve Gilmore play great tunes from the American songbook. Excerpts from some reviews: "Jensen has chops to burn, but he also has good taste and great feeling for the music….. Jensen's fluid slide work and easy-going phrasing always swing. This album takes you to the essence of jazz and never deviates from the truth." Owen Cordle

JazzTimes May 2000 About this CD George Broussard writes: "Homecoming is an entertaining mix of talented musicians and great standards. John blends his Rosolino-like technique with a J.J.-like fluency and grace that makes it all sound so effortless. Give this CD a listen-it's a treat." Mike Joyce in the Washington Post writes: "…nothing superfluous here, just straight ahead, small combo jazz performed with care and spirit…… Jensen is careful to give the melodies their due, favoring a warm yet agile tone, a series of truly engaging performances"
