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.

Julian Priester is someone I know nowt about but he played on Duke Ellington's New Orleans Suite. I dearly dearly love that album.

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.

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'

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 (three 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 (three years ago) link
also Jordan yeah the “evolution” band rips
