Jim R Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 For me it's kind of a toss-up between JJ and Frank Rosolino. I love JJ, but since Rosolino isn't on the list, I had to vote "other" and give some props to Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love JJ, but since Rosolino isn't on the list, I had to vote "other" and give some props to Frank. I realized this after posting. I have three records by him. I can't believe I forgot him. He should take Frank Lacy's place since Frank Lacy is only 45. matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim R: It's good to see the mention of Frank Rosolino's name. I'm familiar with Rosolino only via the Kenton Presents Mosaic. From what I've heard, however, I enjoy Rosolino very much.

connoisseur series500 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 And Bennie Greene? Julian Priester? Grachan Moncur? (was Steve Turre listed in those under 50?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 (was Steve Turre listed in those under 50?) I don't know. Too many polls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I voted for JJ. Now I want to change it to Teagarden... . Luckily enough, the absence of Rosolino, Vic Dickenson and Dickie Wells made it a bit easier. Although I think that without these guys on the poll, it hasn't got a lot of merit for me.

king ubu Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Julian Priester? Grachan Moncur? Priester is still around, yes? (Hopefully, otehrwise I'd have missed something...) So is Moncur, I believe. Priester is one of my favourites, by the way. I can't choose any from this list. J.J. was a giant, but I love Rosolino, I love the bit of Teagarden I know, I love Dickie Wells, Vic Dickenson, and of course the Duke's men, Britt Woodman, Lawrence Brown, hey, even Tricky Sam! ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 No Bennie Green or Bill Harris. Great trombonists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Lots of great trombonists left off, nature of the beast. Teagarden for me. . . there are so many choices but he still is the one that speaks to me the most. I know WHY J. J. gets so many votes, but his sound and the "feel" of his playing and music doesn't really move me . . .he'd be much further down the list for me.

pryan Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 J.J.'s playing really does move me. I don't think his virtuosity gets in the way of conveying an enormous amount of feeling. Heavy shit he played. Teagarden ranks right up there, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I went with J.J. but would have preferred Bennie Green if he had been listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Vic Dickenson!!! Would have been nice to see his name up there. I like him a lot. (Voted for Teagarden.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryan Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I dig Jim Robinson quite a bit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Yeah, Bennie Green - smooth as silk and very melodic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 (edited) I would have chosen from one of the following unmentioned: Dickie Wells JC Higginbotham Jimmy Harrison These polls are crap. Maybe you should show ID before starting a poll. Edited November 30, 2004 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownian Motion Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I voted for Teagarden. But let's not forget some great ones: Sandy Williams Claude Jones Fred Beckett J.C. Higginbotham Benny Morton Dickie Wells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I voted for JJ (not too original, eh?) But I agree with Chuck and Brownian Motion, and would have included Dicky Wells, JC Higginbotham, Jimmy Harrison, Claude Jones, Benny Morton, Vic Dickenson... and Miff Mole! BTW: how many polls are left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I picked Lawrence Brown. Al Grey should be on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 A half dozen or more great Trombonists listed - But number one for me will always be Bill Harris. Always something virle and immediate in his playing. Loved Kai and JJ too. And Vern Friely had something unique - as did Urbie Green. SEE - you can't just pick one as Numero Uno.

Dennis_M Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Frank Rosolino is The Man. JJ is second in my book. Rosolino was so good he was frightening. Unfortunately, a lot of his stuff has not survived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAL Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Tie between Jack T and JJ. Voted for JJ on the strength of his excellent Blue Notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
