Hey all, one more video from this session. Loved playing in this drummerless trio version of Darn That Dream. I really love the sound of it; I think I might make this my regular setup!
Guitar and bass killed it although I'll be honest I wasn't terribly happy with my own playing here. Amongst other things I forgot to tune up before the session and I think it shows on this number a little bit more than the others... oops. In the moment though, the spacious feeling of that rhythm section was beautiful. Hope you dig!

Re: Bass Trombone Solo - Darn That Dream
I like that tune. Tuning is one thing you are tracking already. I would look into the note endings too - you are sometimes breathing in the middle of phrases and clipping the longer notes short. There's a lot of space and not a lot of reverb to fill it up. Like the other thread about bass in a jazz setting -- you have your note starts, but how do you shape the meat of each note, and how do you end or connect the notes?
The vocal recording usually shows the way.
