Durium Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 The trombone is one of those instruments that fascinate me. I was very lucky to hear Bob Brookmeyer, the legendary valve trombonist who recently passed away,in a concert with his Bob Brookmeyer New Art Orchestra at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam two years ago. As the leader of the band he took his instrument and played 16 bars, before he dropped his instrument ....... and started conducting his orchestra for the rest of the set. These 16 bars ..... ! Marshall Gilkes, slide trombone player at the WDR Big Band has a lot in common with Bob. Not only that he plays (almost) the same instrument, he is also a great composer and arrranger. In his latest album Sound Stories, which he made with his US Quintet, he proofs what a great composer and arranger he is. A great album that surprised me. Marshall Gilkes - Sound Stories Durium Quote
