In decades from the not-too-distant past, it was a rarity to even have a woman in prominent jazz bands and orchestras, but to have a bass trombone-slinging woman as leader was thought extraordinary. In efforts to highlight her perceived position as a rara avis, Wharton took it upon herself to not only raise the profile of women instrumentalists but also that of her chosen horn (and it's smaller cousins). \/\/ In 2019, Wharton presented her trombone-powered ensemble, Bonegasm, via it's self-titled debut album. Wharton enlisted fellow trombonists John Fedchock, Nate Mayland and Alan Ferber, along with the rhythm section of pianist Michael Eckroth, bassist Evan Gregor and drummer Don Peretz. \/\/ The overwhelming response to Bonegasm's music was astounding, cementing Wharton's assertion that this assemblage was no flash in the pan but an important exponent of shaping the trombone's primacy in jazz music. Bonegasm's new recording, Not a Novelty, wears it's intentions on it's sleeve, or perhaps more appropriately, tattooed on it's arm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Bongasmo \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Face Value \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Ice Fall \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Blue Salt \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Union Blues \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Twinkle \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Manta Rays \u003cbr\u003e1.8 La Otra Mano \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Little Cupcake \u003cbr\u003e1.10 The Day \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Tried to Live\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
