Albums

Post by TrumpetGuy2012 »

I am a university student studying music education. I'm actually a trumpet player but trombone is my secondary instrument.
Looking for a little help from y'all - what are some definitive or "must have" recordings for trombone? Could be classical, jazz, concerto style, whatever. Thank you in advance!

Christian Lindberg:
(These are the most useful of his albums)
1. The Criminal Trombone (trombone + piano)
2. Romantic Trombone Concertos (w/ orchestra, probably his best standalone album. Also one of the first albums with trombone and a full orchestra. The Grondahl recording is miraculous)
3. Windpower! (W/ band)

Joseph Alessi:

Return to Sorrento (easy listening )
Illuminations

Hakan Bjorkman:

Mandrake in the Corner (w/ brass band)

Here is the album that convinced me it was time to learn to play trombone:

Bill Watrous, Bone-ified

https://smile.amazon.com/Bone-ified-Bil ... 799&sr=8-1

I listen to several of the selections on this CD 3-6 times a week, while I'm exercising or when I'm driving. There isn't a note he plays that I don't wish I could play. Or, to put it another way, he plays all the notes I want to play! (Also, the pianist, Shelly Berg, is a master.) The Youtube videos of Bill performing or in discussion with Paul the Trombonist and others are priceless. RIP Bill.

"Four of a Kind" is a fine quartet album with Joe Alessi, Scott Hartman, Mark Lawrence and Blair Bollinger playing a lot of the standard trombone quartet repertoire - some of the music here is stuff that a good high school quartet can play.
