Swimming in a Galaxy of Goodwill and Sorrow

Swimming in a Galaxy of Goodwill and Sorrow is an album by American jazz trombonist Steve Swell which was recorded in 2006 and released on the French RogueArt label.

It was the debut of Fire into Music, a quartet with Jemeel Moondoc on alto sax, William Parker on double bass and Hamid Drake on drums.

In a double review for All About Jazz, John Sharpe states "The trombonist's loquacious lines confound expectation, taking inventive twists, sometimes declamatory, at others cajoling.

His lustrous tone blends well with Moondoc's deep, blues tinged cry, which only sparingly hits the upper registers.
