Award winning composer and trombonist Alex Heitlinger's 2nd album as a leader, The Daily Life of Uncle Roger, is a collection of distinctive compositions featuring a world class ensemble including pianist Erik Deutsch, trumpeter Shane Endsley, drummer Tony Moreno, clarinetist/saxophonist Mike McGinnis & bassist Matt Clohesy.
'Alex Heitlinger is a thoughtful trombonist and a promising composer whose new album, 'The Daily Life of Uncle Roger,' makes full use of avuncular inspiration. His sextet features some considerable talent...'
-Nate Chinen, New York Times
'...together they masterfully bring the leader’s tunes to life—pensive, plush and panoramic post-bop—in all their rich, harmonic glory... elegant ensemble play... his dense arrangements, which convey a much larger sound than you’d expect from a sextet, guide the listener through each section with an abundance sonic warmth...'
