Alex, please at least spell my name correctly

Sorry man, young trombonists like that are popping up all over the place over here!!!!

I didn't like what he was doing, it left me feeling agitated!!!

Check out the still very young British trombonist Alistair White....... http://www.myspace.com/alistairwhite
He was still in his early 20's on the track "Headwind".

I wish John Egizi a very promising future...... He certainly has potential

P.S. Reminds me a little of Bulgaria's Georgi Kornazov..............  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5DajCb_P8M&feature=related    http://www.kornazov.com/bio-en.html

I had to hand on past the "background music in the dentist's office" at the beginning, nice chart, and a Hell of a band.


Landgren kicks some serious ass, and the drummer is a time-keeping machine!


This is what government money in art can do, this is first-rate stuff.

Since I can't figure out where else to post this, here's a piece from my junior recital. It's Lantier's Introduction, Romance, et Allegro, and it's probably the piece I played best on the recital. Recording quality isn't great, but I figured I'd post it because there aren't many recordings of it available (only Denson Paul Pollard's Up From Below as far as I know). Criticism encouraged!

You've got some really nice things happening Corey!

The recording quality was a bit hard to listen through, but it sounds like you make a nice big ringing sound, and you made some sense of a piece that's fairly difficult musically. The phrasing choices aren't all obvious, and you did a nice job of playing musically and with line.

My one real criticism would be that I would happily sacrifice some of the width of the sound you make in order to have a more clear, consistent pitch center. Your pitch wanders sometimes with dynamic and register changes, and I'd love to hear you blow right into the center all the time. You don't need to try so hard to make a big bass trombone sound all the time - you're doing it.

Nice job!

Thank you! I know the recording quality hurt it, but the pitch issues are something I'm working on fixing. I think I'm hearing it sound "bright" from behind the bell and trying to darken it up too much, causing (some of) the pitch issues.

What are some of the highest quality youtube vids out there on jazz trombone playing? Last week I played the Marshall Gilkes vid on Edwards site on my radio show. It's good stuff.

Just the one I'm afraid, David.  Gotta say I really enjoyed you guys.  All stylistically different, but all relevant and contemporary.

Mick deserves a great deal of credit - not only for the horns, but for putting the whole visit together.

If/when you come again, I'll hopefully get a chance to have a few words with you!

Nice clip; makes me miss "The Continent"  Nils as always is killin', and it's interesting to see the big band using an electronics/DJ type element in the rhythm section, not as a gimmick, (at least on this tune) but just contributing to the groove. From 2007? Hmmm... Makes me wonder what they're up to these days?

Gees, there is a huge number of Nils Landgren videos on the internet and they cover a lot of styles. Here is one I found when looking at the previous one mentioned here. It's a lovely tune that I had not heard for a long time: "There Goes My Heart". It has a very simple guitar accompaniment and there is duo vocal with an unknown (to me) gal/guy(?) singing the harmonies. I love this recording!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vzEYGyxL4g

Nils is a master of self promotion on the web. Have you noticed that if you put a famous trombonist's name into a search engine (google, whatever), you will also end up with a list of Nils Landgren videos? Maybe that is just a little annoying sometimes but, as a marketing manager, I have to admire the way he keeps his name in front of the public. I say 'more power to him'.

I have no idea who this is  ...but it was obviously inspired by Wes Funderburk and Charlie Vernon.

Wow! That guy is a weirdo..

HA!

I think Nils is one of the most under-recognized (is this a word?) great trombonists in North America, and can only hope his guerrilla marketing approach will gain him the attention he so richly deserves.  Maybe it will get him hopping continents more often, too!  Right on, Grah....

Bob McChesney, in a relaxed mood...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICVJO-t08ME 

I don't usually have much time for doodle tonguing, especially in jazz solos. But in four part harmony like this arrangement, it sounds very good, as well as demonstrating impressive technique. Mind you, it took me a while to pick up where he was in the tune. In fact, I thought it was not 'I Love You' by Cole Porter at all for a while there.

Despite my quibbling, I like that a lot. Guess I'm just jealous.

....maybe this is the topic under which to put this:

Starting in 2006 I created a little home recording project entitled Blog Songs! where I wrote and recorded short, multi-tracked trombone/etc. tunes..

http://www.funderbone.com/blogsongs.html

Due to the recent popularity of that unbelievable Bob McChesney video I decided to experiment a bit with the scores and playback of my Blog Songs. Here's my first:

....wait, this post is sarcasm-free. Hmmm.. I must not be feeling well.

You know like...."you shouldnt practice till you get better"

YOu go to a 7 pm reh and its almost 8pm and you havent played a note, you chime in with "what time does the 7 o clock reh start.


Air Force Band Humor.......I guess...cuz we used to play tons and tons of marches.

We backed up Bill Watrous in the 80's, he played Spain, played a million notes, great performance...."lot of the same notes as Washington Post was born"

Dont practice till you get better ....was from a sax player friend of mine....

Next time it'll be from my paraglider (around 2-2.500m. above sea level, I hope...).   

Quote from: BORIMORT on Nov 22, 2010, 12:08AMNext time it'll be from my paraglider (around 2-2.500m. above sea level, I hope...).   

Somehow I think below sea level probably wouldn't go so well.......

James Morrison on trombone and then trumpet.  And then trombone...  And so it goes; superb on both.
I imagine this might have been listed in the past (the YouTube clip has been up two years) but it's sure worth another look.  He's considered one of the better trumpet players in the world...  And not at all shabby on the trombone. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz3qHs_ulzI

James Morrison plays all brass and reed instruments with equal facility, it seems to me. He is also a superb keyboard player!

The only problem is that my best mate, who is really a pro bass player and often plays with James when he comes up to Queensland, thinks he can play all the brass and reed instruments just like him. And he can't! I keep telling him that he should concentrate on playing trumpet like James and we will all be very happy.

Yes, I've seen vids of him on the keyboard and it seems like I read that sax was his first instrument? 

I've always felt that if a person can really excel on one instrument it's only a matter of time and desire for them to excel on another.  The thing is - few really have the ability to excel on just one instrument, and if they then try to play other instruments it seems an even weaker level is achieved...  Does this sound about right?

Absolutely correct! James is just a brilliant fluke.

Mind you, we also had the American Tom Baker, who lived in Australia, and played absolutely brilliant trumpet, sax and trombone. He was great mates with Dan Barrett who also plays mean trombone and trumpet.
