Slide Attack is a unique jazz quintet led by not one, but TWO trombonists, Alan Goidel and Howard Levy. Inspired by the group formerly led by J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding (Jai & Kai), Slide Attack continues in the tradition, right where Jai and Kai left off! This compelling ensemble plays modern arrangements of American songbook classics recognized by all types of audiences. In addition to their fresh take on standards, Slide Attack writes a wide array of original compositions ranging from energetic and fun uptempo works, to ballads that have been described as heartfelt, poignant and reflective.
The band’s musical diversity not only satisfies jazz listeners but is also very accessible to listeners of all genres. These five musicians are some of the best on the Westchester and NYC scene, and have played with legendary musicians and groups such as Chet Baker, Joe Lovano, Tony Bennett, Ron Carter, The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, The Glenn Miller Orchestra, Vincent Herring, Jacki Byard, Patti LuPone, Lew Tabackin and many more. Slide Attack will make your foot tap and put a smile on your face!
