I would say he is THE BEST musician to come from Wynton's orbit.

And here.

Uuskyla is great!

Definitely a fan, and one of the better talents to come out of the Wynton orbit. I have several of his Negel Heyer releases and definitely second The Search.

Vernel Fournier (1928-2000)

Well, he's one of those four.

Any fans of Wycliffe Gordon? He is one of the few standout trombonists out there. I saw him live once and he put on a great show. I have several of his records, and there are some really good ones: DIg This!, The Search. You can hear outstanding work by Gordon (usually in his very vocalized style) and his sidemen. You can hear him in other projects too, such as Ted Nash's Sidewalk Meeting and The Herbie Nichols project. Yet it seems that he has not recorded in about a decade. How can this be? It really seems that trombonists don't receive enough respect.

And here.

Ron McClure - Age of Peace (Steeplechase)

Saw the Davis, Shaw, Waits Quartet last year and they were excellent. They're all excellent musicians, so I wouldn't expect anything less. [Photo from Big Ears 2024]

April 30 Buddy Guy - 1936

Remastered 2CD+2Blu-Ray Expanded Edition Boxset. Always been a BIG fan of this album and am looking forward to the extra tracks and videos.

I was born in 1953 and remember my parents had an album or two of his. They liked him. Don't know how popular he was overall, but I think I remember seeing him on Ed Sullivan.
