ITF was in Utrecht, not Maastricht. I was playing an Atlantic crossing big band cruise on the Norway, just before it, and stayed over for the ITF before flying home.

Having suffered with this problem for years I can highly recommend trying the Besson 940 . I have over the years tried all sorts of things including custom made crooks and the wideglide which all altered the blow of horn and usually not in a great way. I used a Yellow Brass Bach 36 with a nickel sli...

I believe Mr Halliburton also played in the Glenn Miller Orchestra where he would have bee sat along side Jimmy Priddy.
So many great players from that era.... we'll never see quite their like again.

Great stuff.

Any idea about the arrangement? All that double time ride cymbal bell is very Ted Heath/Don Lusher...

I asked Chris, and he said the chart was written by Bryan Pendleton who is a former pianist with the band.
May be he was channelling Ted Heath??

Bellend,

No need to be sarcastic. We (at least most of us) are well aware that this fantastic trombonist is Chinese – oops, I mean German!

I have three of these and ( perhaps obviously) think they're a very underrated instrument. I think the real problem is that Besson and Boosey & Hawkes had previously come up with so many bad trombones that no one really gave these a chance. This horn was designed in conjunction with Gene Smith who w...

Yes, Mike played 2nd Trumpet in the band...... You could tell he was going to be a great player even then.

Listen carefully to the interpretation, all of the articulations, etc. It's actually nice to play it with correct style.

I would also recommend you get it checked over by a repairer who is good with slides but before you take it you could try this first. Fill up the outer slide with diluted kettle descaler. You can get citrus based ones if you're worried about the chemicals . You need to let it soak for a few hours to...

I'm with Gabe , put plenty on and really work it in dry first, then with water .
takes a bit of sussing out but when you hit the sweet spot I think it's as good as any other lube especially on older slides.

Hi, finally received my bolero, love it. Just a small problem, the slide is not awful but not as good as my 4 years old yahama too. Don't know what to expect from a 50/60 years old slide.

The original 10CS was a lot smaller than the current incarnation and for my money a much better mouthpiece.
Best guess is that Mr Wick has switched manufacturers several times over the years and specs have wandered and not in a good way.

I have had a couple of these and the older one had the same engraving . I wouldn't personally call that a Krantz which in my book is a separate metal disk usually made of Nickel Silver that is spun, trimmed and placed over the main bell then held in place by turning the bead of the main bell to hold...

Basically, everyone used a 11/2 in NY. Including Dave Taylor. George Flynn still does. Nobody used a bigger piece for decades. Smaller equipment gives a bigger sound on tape.

OK....... My Two Cents Worth. Instrument makers just like say, automobile makers, need to keep selling their products in order to make money which don't forget is actually what they are in business to do. So, just like the car makers they need to keep designing new and ' improved' models to tempt us...

You could try a Giardinelli 4D , if you can find one, they also made a 4M which makes a very bright sound for a mouthpiece that size. Bach makes a 4C but to me they don't quite work somehow. Wick 4BS? .......Very tubby sounding There are things out there but most tend to make small trombones sound ...
