Larry Kart Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Anyone else have a taste for this James Moody veteran, who I'm pretty sure is playing valve trombone? He can be a bit awkward and hip, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Not sure if that's valve or not, sounds like slide vibrato, might be some pretty "heavy" tonguing, like Benny Green or Booty Wood. But gotta love those Eugene Chadbourne AMG bios: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/william-shepherd-mn0001237756 Shepherd's professional career began while he was still in high school. Both he and his cousin Bernard Simms played in the Evelyn Freeman Ensemble, a popular attraction at Cleveland dances. Arranger Ernie Freeman also played in this band, a tight-knit group of players who decided to enlist together during the Second World War, forming the Navy's first all-black band -- the Gobs of Swing, one of the few band names in jazz history that simply demands to spat out.
