Very tough choices, as I'm a big fan of the jazz trombone, whether it's swing or Euro improv... but the first trombone solo that pops into my head is Roswell Rudd at the start of the first Liberation Music Ensemble, so he gets my vote.

Write-in vote for George Chisholm!

Gave a courtesy vote to Bob Brookmeyer. I bought a few 20th c 'classical' LPs on Discogs that came from his collection. He was teaching in my state at the end of his life.

write in vote for ray anderson

wow is ray anderson really your favorite trombonist ? what’s a good place to start in his catalogue ?
― budo jeru, Thursday, 2 April 2020 16:46 (four years ago) link
The trombone is an instrument of power imo, and bop/post-bop often sells it short. My favorite trombonists are either from New Orleans (Corey Henry, Stafford Agee, etc), Willie Colon, or like North Carolina shout choir musicians whose names I don't know.

Tough choice between George Lewis ("Homage to Charles Parker" is one of my alltime favorite pieces of music) and Jeb Bishop (imo he buried a bunch of very heavy hitters at the Brotzmann Tentet +2 show I saw in SF).

can I just recommend any trombone fans to check out Don Drummond? I usually don't fuck with ska but he is amazing.

Fuller is without a doubt the secret weapon in the Blue Note arsenal.

ray anderson on braxton's performance(quartet)1978 or seven compositions 1978, or any of the bass drum bone stuff.

cool, thanks

Julian Priester is someone I know nowt about but he played on Duke Ellington's New Orleans Suite. I dearly dearly love that album.
― calzino, Thursday, 2 April 2020 22:08 (four years ago) link
Try Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi albums - Mwandishi, Crossings and Sextant - to hear Priester. He's also got a great early '70s album of his own, Love, Love, on ECM.

phil who gets yr vote ?

I like Wycliffe Gordon because of his sense of humor, he can play anything but sometimes it's just animal noises.
There's a trombonist named John Allred who used to play in Harry Connick Jr's band, he's great, just always in total control. The two of the made a record that's pretty fun for trombone heads:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neCMuC3rhIE

Ok I'd forgotten how stunning the band is on 'Evolution'
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 8 April 2020 14:49 (four years ago) link
xp because this is a poll about jazz trombone i didn’t make room for the art music / avant-garde / academic types like stuart dempster or michael dessen
― budo jeru, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 18:06 (four years ago) link
although it’s true that there are hundreds of amazingly talented trombonists and these polls can only accommodate 50 options
― budo jeru, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 18:08 (four years ago) link
also Jordan yeah the “evolution” band rips
