jeffcrom Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Albert Mangelsdorff: Trombonliness (MPS) The George Lewis Solo Trombone Record (Sackville) Tromboneliness is a good one - it was also issued on Sackville as well as MPS.

.:.impossible Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Thanks guys. Keep them coming if there are others. A friend of mine just released an album and he referenced a short list of solo trombone albums. The Paul Rutherford was not listed! I will track it down.

Chuck Nessa Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Back in the '70s Gunter Christmann had a terrific record of solos on trombone and bass. It was on Ring/Moers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) just ordered that Rutherford after doing a little reading about it - thanks, Chuck and Larry (it better be good). Edited November 2, 2011 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Man Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Not a "solo" trombone record but here's another by Paul Rutherford I can highly recommend: Paul Rutherford - Gheim A 'desert island' record!

king ubu Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I still need to get to that Rutherford... one of my favorite album titles of all times! The Mangelsdorff solo albums for MPS have been collected on this 2CD set: Can be bought rather cheaply from amazon.de (while US has it for a ridiculous price) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Not a "solo" trombone record but here's another by Paul Rutherford I can highly recommend: Paul Rutherford - Gheim A 'desert island' record! I don't know about the music, but the song titles look like straight out of J.R.R. Tolkien. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Conny Bauer has several solo, of which I have only heard Die Gelbe Klang, which include electronics. Duet albums featuring Rutherford or Lewis are really good, the ones I have heard. You can check out Paul Rutherford discography at Peter Stubley's site: http://www.efi.group.shef.ac.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Back in the '70s Gunter Christmann had a terrific record of solos on trombone and bass. It was on Ring/Moers. Yes! And balloons, among other things. Before coming out on Ring, it was privately issued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomsMobley Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) its ** intended ** title, The Gentle HAM of the Bourgeouis is much better-- damm compositor's error!

B. Clugston Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Wolter Wierbos' XCaliber is a nice one. He's done quite a few solo discs. The George Lewis Solo Trombone Record is a great one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I've seen Wierbos solo - great - but never owned any of his solo recordings. There's also a solo Vinko Globokar on FMP (vinyl), which I don't believe has been reissued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlitweiler Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Paul Rutherford did two masterpieces: The Gentle Harm of the Bourgeoisie (ca. mid-1970s), which is the ultimate in spontaneous improvisation, and Tromboleneum (21st century, IIRC), which is the opposite, structured solos. The man was a creative wonder. I've heard some old, good Conrad Bauer, Albert Manglesdorff, and Gunter Christmann solo trombone albums, too. Happy hunting.

clifford_thornton Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah, Trombolenium is quite good. Neuph, too. There is much great Rutherford out there in about every configuration imaginable. I'm sad he passed before "we" were ready but he left a lot of work to be heard.

David Ayers Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Gotcha. I meant to say over here he was pretty definitive for a long time - at least for people like me. It's great so much of his work is currently easy to find on Emanem and PSI, and in fact more now than ever before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnymax Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Kind of ironic to see this title pop up on eMusic a day after this conversation started. The preview clips sound quite nice to these ears: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 OK, not solo bone, but one of the more interesting trombonists is Roswell Rudd, and you might want to add "AIRWALKER" to the list. It's a duo with bassist Mark Dresser. Rudd has a lot of excellent small group recordings but I don't want to get too far from the premise of the thread.
