Mark Stryker Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Anyone know whatever happened to trombonist Brian Trentham, who worked with George Russell in the mid '60s? (I always assumed the connection to Russell came via Trentham's teacher, David Baker.) Trentham only has five credits in the Lord discography, the most recent a 1973 LP with Don Cherry taped in Europe.

paul secor Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 All I can find is this on discogs: "American jazz trombonist, now owner of a tropical fruit farm in Costa Rica." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 sounds like a nice life to me. Certainly enjoy his playing from what little is out there. That Movement Incorporated CD is awesome but maybe a little wild and woolly, even for the Don Cherry freaks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stryker Posted July 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Costa Rica? I'd be delighted to learn that he was still alive (having feared the opposite). But one way or the other, sounds like there's a story there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Who knows if there's any truth there? It was just a blurb next to his name on discogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 According to the Swedish saxophonist Gilbert Holmström, it's the same guy. However what is not clear is whether Trentham is still alive as the reference I found is a few years old. Trentham is from Missouri originally, relocated to Indiana and studied with David Baker before moving to Europe in the mid-60s. He and Don Cherry had a small group active at that time, basically a follow-up to the quartet DC had with Jimmy Cheatham. This is also a fun look, for those Bob Carducci fans out there: http://archives.nd.edu/ndcjf/dcjf1964.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
