jazz trombone

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.

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.

^ yes.

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:

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

although it’s true that there are hundreds of amazingly talented trombonists and these polls can only accommodate 50 options

also Jordan yeah the “evolution” band rips
