“…dazzling trombone virtuosity…”
-THE NEW YORK TIMES
“As a soloist, Fedchock’s playing is simply phenomenal. Flawless technique, a melodic approach, and a warm, lush tone are trademarks of his improvisational style. Fedchock achieves a sense of freedom and ease in his playing that defines true artistry.”

“…a superior jazz trombonist…”
