Yar Graham, that's the kind of stuff I play myself. And I get blowin' like that sometimes late in the evening. I'm sure he loves Fred Wesley just like I do, because I hear some Fred-isms there just like I've been known to cop...

Speaking of which, Go Fred! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z9nBQ_sn8Y

 

Quote from: Graham Martin on Jun 03, 2009, 09:11PMSome convincing funk here from Gov't Mule and featuring the Dirty Dozen Brass Band Horns. The tune is Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8G4q52EsCc

The trombone player, whose name I do not know, moves very well and solos last. In fact the whole thing is moving along!

Here is some more of that trombone action. This time just from the Dirty Dozen on the tune "Ain't Nothin' But A Party":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXDzhPM8nJk
It ain't very sophisticated, but IT IS FUNKY!!!!!

The trombonist is Big Sam Williams! Dancing is one of his trademarks! He and Trombone Shorty are two electrifying trombonists from New New Orleans. Here is Big Sam's web site: http://www.bigsamsfunkynation.com/

Big Sam's Funky nation Baby..... the Worlds Loudest Funk trombone player!!! I don't know how he keeps it up. I miss those New Orleans cats.

Don't forget to check out Nils Landgren, and you have to hear Alex Iles playing Sentimental Journey, accompanying himself on multiphonics!

Okay.. I filmed this during last night's performance of the Joe Gransden Big Band here in Atlanta.  This is a trumpet battle between three of the most outstanding trumpet players in the South on the standard "Just Friends". 

Why is this under "YouTube Trombonists", you ask?  Because I don't follow instructions very well.

It'll be fun. Watch!

Yeah well, about as much fun as the sax player in front of you seems to be having. Lots of notes and nothing to say. Yawn.

Wow.

Okay.

I'm done here.

Bebop is dead.

Thanks.

Now off to more boring music that makes me boring.

Oh, the sax player?  Mace Hibbard?....one of the baddest bebop sax players in the South but you're right..he was probably bored listening to all those notes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hONGyxUgx9o

Lighten up, man.. I'd never insult your friends like that. Wow. Bad vibes...

Me.

Wes, don't you KNOW that bebop was never alive?

I did not say anything derogatory about 'bebop' or  'fast'. It is quite possible to play unbelievably fast, and still construct wonderfully creative solos. Otherwise Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie would not have been considered the absolute geniuses they obviously were. Call me old fashioned, but I still like to hear some melodic lines even in a cutting contest.

You're right! But you did make that smug and condescending remark about 4 (including the "bored" sax player) of the finest musicians with whom I've worked...who you don't know...and that's why it wasn't cool.

Had you left the word "yawn" off the end I wouldn't have my thongs in such a bind. (I don't really wear thongs....often).

"Bebop" ain't my friend but those bad mofos with the trumpets are.

So to keep it on subject here's my "YouTube Trombonists" response to your comments:

Yeah, he's gotta lotta Woody Shaw and Chet Baker in his hat... Thanks for catching that. It was quite refreshing to hear these guys who come from the similar schools with such different ideas.

Later.

Wes, we all know why there are critics out there.  They can't play.  Never could, never will.  That's why they like to criticize; kinda helps them bring the artist down to their level. Ya know?   

Notice the biggest trash talkers refuse to be heard, because that would open them up to criticism.

I think that "Just Friends" clip is cooking.
Lovely command of the language actually and the rhythm section are burning!!!

passion is a good thing to possess...but passionately defending one's opinion is a recipe for dissonance.  the oldest moral in the book is..."if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all."  but, some folks need to teach the world how wrong it is and how right they are. instead of just sharing their views and experiences, they chastise, lecture and ridicule while not realizing that even if they might have something useful to bring to the discussion, they have discredited themselves in the eyes of their audience.  this forum is full of that and it's the biggest waste of time and source of emotional dissonance.  go scream at someone out your window....we're all friends here.  friends respect each other.  they disagree, but respect each other. 

i'll say once again that we are all the smallest little group of folks that care about things for which the world has little time.  why deride one another and segment this tiny group into tinier groups when we could share our views and support one another?  and you have to turn on your computer and log into the site to criticize people?  screaming out the window is a lot more efficient.  i'm sure there is someone out there right now wearing a loud shirt or whistling out of tune.  go get 'em!

David, some previous posts on the forum along these lines (both you and dj come to mind) really got me thinking about how I talk about other musicians. With some reflection I came to recognize my portion of our shared obligation to collectively support the arts. Meaning all of them. Even the stuff that's not my thing. Even the folks that aren't the highest, fastest, most melodic, most dynamic, most creative performers in my humble opinion. So, um... thanks.

And you know what? Thanks again. Because by releasing myself of this negativity, I think I took a big step forward as a performer. Suddenly it didn't matter if that guy on the other side of the bar hated me. I was just doing my own damn thing as best as I could do it and the good guys will realize this. The rest? Well...

Quote from: sabutin on Jun 02, 2009, 05:48AMYeah. Joel is a cross-idiomatic master. His stuff seems to work anywhere. I haven't seen him around NYC in ages though. I don't know where he is.

S.
I just heard that Joel passed away, June 20th.  He was only 53 years old.  Very sad news.

Welcome to the forum, Peter.

I particularly liked the Turkish March!

Not sure if this'd be the right thread for this but whilst randomly browsing the youtube I came across this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr7v0lWfBAE

Nothing to write home about playing-wise (tho' better'n I can manage at this early point, heh) but I really, really dig the melody. Any idea what ol' book it may be from, this "Trombone Etude 16", oh experts? I only know it ain't Bordogni/Rochut/Whatevers-ya-call-it. Thank you much for any help!

Deborah Weisz, Jen Krupa, and Leslie Havens

Liked the touch of Lassus Trombones at the end!!

Mnozil has increased the quality and personality of their band by adding Zoltan Kiss on trombone...some really great stuff happening over there. This one is called "Hungarian Schnapsodie"

Not very good sound, but it almost doesn't matter.

I quite like Keberle's playing - I've heard him with Maria and Darcy James-Argue's Secret Society and he's always inventive and interesting

A beautiful melody played by a beautiful player. We can say many things but it really touch me. The sound, legato, phrasing and  that musicality. What surprise me most is the sound. Beautiful.....

But his vibrato is maybe some......not so often to listen?
