Bandleader Michael Treni Continues His Resurgence With Boys Night Out, a Powerhouse Session Showcasing His 16-Piece Orchestra With Jerry Bergonzi. A boys’ night out is usually dedicated to the avid pursuit of instant gratification, but in the case of trombonist Michael Treni, this convivial music hang was a long time coming. His fourth release since rededicating himself to music after a successful career in business, Boys Night Out features Treni’s talent-laden 16-piece orchestra. It’s the work of a savvy leader who knows how to get the most out of his crew. While Boston tenor sax legend Jerry Bergonzi is the band’s best-known player, the cast features an array of veteran cats well-versed in turning a brief solo into a compelling, personal statement.
