On Paper Clips, trombonist Malloy proves the instrument's capabilities of being a driving force and, along with pianist Rojahn, it's collaborative appeal. An unabashed champion for the trombone, Malloy commissioned each work on this album specifically to expand the often overlooked instrument's repertoire. These works cast the trombone in a new light, presenting it as a tool fit for expressing emotional, lyrical, and melodic passages.
