Trombone Players from Bumpertees

Trombonists
where do they come from? what do they want?
Trombone players are a unique breed indeed. Most didn't actually choose the trombone because of a lifelong fantasy of becoming a trombone player. The trumpet is flashier, the saxophone sexier so why choose the trombone? More likely it was a matter of happenstance or necessity that brought them together. In short, the trombone chose them.At this point, they sink or they swim. The trombone requires serious technical chops to navigate fluidly and a keen sense of musicality to play anything worth hearing. The Trombone is great for weeding out the weak from the herd. It takes a good musician to play the trombone at all and an exceptional one to play it well. The players featured here are exceptional musicians.

Trombone - a practical application
If the Frog gets the gig, offer to Play For Food
Many Trombone Players seem to be under the impression that they should be able to make a living playing their instrument.A quick scan through the daily classifieds would produce so many gigs that a good slide jocky could just pick and choose. Up until the mid 1950's, this was a reasonable expectation but since then hard times have fallen on this once noble and affluent breed. Sadly, it has become quite common to see destitute Trombone Players on the exit ramps of our highways or outside of bars holding signs or wearing shirts declaring their willingness to play their trombone in exchange for a simple meal or perhaps a refreshing adult beverage. At Bumpertees we want to help these brave crusaders by providing them with tools that can help them survive in a world gone mad.Will Play For Food
The Will Play For Food collection from Bumpertees is perfect for hungry musicians and a great conversation starter. Cool shirts for men, women and kids in lots of styles and colors plus buttons, stickers, mousepads and more!

J.J. Johnson
father of the cool
J.J. Johnson. When I was in high school my dad gave me a J.J Johnson album. He said J.J. was the man. I thought so too and even learned "Portrait of Jenny" to amuse myself. J.J. was a class act, on or off the stage and a true legend. He redefined trombone playing for the be-bop era. He had a very hip "cool guy" sound and an approach much like Charlie Parker. Dizzy heard him in 1946 was so impressed that some one could play the trombone that way, he invited J.J. into the inner circle of be-boppers. In 1954 he teamed up with fellow trombonist Kai Winding and successfully legitimized the trombone into popular music. J.J. took some time off in the 70's but was so popular in the jazz world that he kept on winning Down Beat Magazine polls even though he was not playing at all!J.J. Johnson - Wikipedia

Kai Chresten Winding
Kai Winding was another great trombone player to come out of the be-bop era. He spent most of the early years as a star sideman but later teamed up with J.J. Johnson and gained quite a bit of commercial success and name recognition. He went on to do several commercial recording projects and had a huge hit with his cover of "More". Kai defined the trombone as a feature instrument in popular music.Despite his success as a pop music artist, Kai was still an excellent jazz player and played with Dizzy, Monk, Miles and Bird.

The Manually Operated, Wind Driven, Pitch Approximator
a history lesson
Near the fall of the Roman Empire, a plumber named 
Spitius Maximus was commissioned by Romulus Augustus H.R.I.C. to create a device that would quickly remove bilge water from the hulls of the Roman warships when in battle. It's slide-like probe would suck up bilge water which was then emptied into goat skin vessels through a "Spit Valve", (named after the inventor), then carried to the deck in the trousers of workers and dumped over the side. These workers were called "sidemen" but because the vessels of bilge under their pants made them appear to have massive drooping buttocks, huge cheeks that would sway back and forth with the rocking of the ship, they became known as "Sackbuts". Treated with much disrespect, the Sackbuts became increasingly angry and soon refused to work, tossing all of their slush pumps into the sea.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, medieval treasure hunters recovered 76 of these pumps and, believing them to be musical instruments, started a village band for boys known as the "76 Sackbuts". As music became more sophisticated, the 27 position design of the Sackbut proved too clumsy to execute the faster passages being written so, over the years, the horn was streamlined into a more agile 7 position horn and renamed the Slide Trombone.
Although the instrument has changed little since then, a more permissive, forgiving and politically correct society has lowered the bar of musical expectations. As a result the Trombone is now more commonly known as the
Manually Operated, Wind Driven, Pitch Approximator.

Frank n' Carl
real bad boys!
F rank Rosolino and Carl Fontana were two amazingly gifted musicians. They both played well beyond the point where one could be considered excellent. Frank's range, fire and mastery of triplet lip slurs, giving his solos a "bouncy" sound, made him unique among his peers. I've never heard anyone play like Frank. He didn't learn to read music until he had to, instead, learning the trombone by simply playing...a lot. It's been said that Frank Rosolino played the way he did because nobody told him it was impossible.Carl's style was also identifiable. He played with a more relaxed approach than Frank but, like Frank, he could get around the upper register at the speed of light while playing all the right notes; flawlessly and effortlessly.
Then there's the music. Frank and Carl played music. They sang through their instruments. Their mastery of the trombone simply allowed them to play what they were thinking. What a joy that must be.
There are a lot of excellent trombone players out there and several great ones but few possess the unique combination of technical ability and musical genius of Frank Rosolino and Carl Fontana.

Diane Armesto
Since Frank Rosolino was my personal favorite trombone player of all time, I must say a few words about my good friend Diane Armesto. I met Diane in Buffalo, New York a few months before she left for Los Angeles, where she met Frank Rosolino. Diane wasn't a big trombone fan before she met Frank and, needless to say, he gave her a new perspective. Diane became Frank's long time friend, companion and manager and was with him up until the very end. All that exposure to the finest jazz musicians in the world must have had an effect because Diane has become a fine artist in her own right as a highly respected jazz vocalist.Diane Armesto's Interview with Ron Netsky of City Magazine
Raul de Souza
the boy from brazil
Raul de Souza, a native of Rio de Janeiro and an excellent player, takes a unique approach to jazz trombone. His first horn was a valve trombone and, although he also plays slide (along with several other instruments), he relys on triggers or valves to help him get around fast in the lower register of the horn. He is the inventor of the Souzabone, a four valve trombone in C equiped with an electric pickup.Raul de Souza - Wikipedia

The Bb Tenor Saxobone
one man's noble effort
The Slide Trombone has long been recognized as nature's perfect instrument, unencumbered by clumsy appendages, attachments or other mechanical devices, yet it's that same poetic purity that renders the trombone theoretically unplayable, at least in a musical sense.Trombone scientists have attempted to help by incorporating a system of "attachments" accessed by valves, both rotor and piston. While increasing speed and aiding accuracy, the tight corners of the "valve" system increased the backpressure, giving the horn a stuffy sound; much like having a small athletic sock loosely inserted into the bell section.
The Bb Tenor Saxobone combines the ambiguity of the Slide Trombone with the "duck like" characteristics of the Tenor Sax to create a remarkable musical instrument capable of delivering lightning fast lines with very low backpressure for a pure sound.
Both the Eb Alto and Bb Tenor saxobones are supported by a steel body harness or the patented "Pelvi-Bar", surgically implanted in the pelvic bone. This way the player can freely use the slide, the keys, or any combination thereof. The unique slide/key configuration of the BTS Saxobone allows one to play in any key at any time (regardless of what the key the other musicians are in), in no key at all, or even several keys at once!

Bill Watrous
the new kid
B ill Watrous is by far, the most proficient bone player to come out of the "Jazz-Rock" scene of the 60's and 70's. The music was more aggressive and the playing styles followed suit. Harder playing meant giving up those fancy riffs and delicately controlled lip slurs in the upper register in favor of a different style of soloing. Then along came Bill Watrous. He became most visible during the 70's when he played with the New York jazz rock group "Ten Wheel Drive" and later, his own "Manhattan Wildlife Refuge". Waltrous was an aggressive player but he didn't sacrifice speed or agility. His range, control and mastery of the art of "doodle tonguing" are nothing short of amazing and make it possible for him to play more notes in one measure that most soloists play all night.Bill Watrous - Wikipedia

Dick Nash
LA studio legend
Dick Nash is an excellent trombonist who became one of the most sought after studio players on the west coast. Like Fontana, his approach is relaxed, accurate and effortless. His studio credits are endless but he is an excellent jazz soloist as well. In the 1960, Nash teamed up with Rosolino, Fontana and several other top trombone players to record Tutti Camarata's "Tutti's Trombones". The album is somewhat middle of the road but how can the best west coast session trombonists and a rhythm section be bad?Dick Nash - Wikipedia

Urbie Green
it's not easy being green
Urbie Green born Urban Clifford Green is truly a trombonist's trombonist and one of true greats of jazz. Like most musical geniuses he started early, first learning piano from his mother and at 12 years old, he picked up the trombone. His two older brothers also played trombone so it seemed natural. Although he listened to Dorsey and Teagarden, Green was more influenced by Dizzy and Bird and at 15, after his father's death, Urbie went straight into the professional music world. By the time he was 21 he was playing with Krupa and three years later, joined the Woody Herman Band. In 1953 he moved to New York and established himself as the go to guy for studio work. Green has appeared on over 250 recordings and over 24 under his own name. He also led his own groups and toured as a featured performer with the Goodman Band and even fronted the Tommy Dorsey Band after Dorsey's death.It took me a while to get around to profiling Urbie Green on this site and I apologize to Mr. Green and the world. I will say this: I too am a trombone player and up until 1980, I played a King 2B and 3B with an F attachment. In 1980 I bought a Martin 4501 Urbie Green Model trombone and I still have it. It is by far, the best horn I've ever played. It is light and fast with an incredibly hip sound. The bore is perfect ( between a 2B and a 3B), the D and F above the staff are in tune with a sound less heavy than the King and brighter than the Bach. A GREAT horn!

Fred Wesley
take it to the bridge
Fred Wesley has got to be the funkiest trombone player of all times. Fred became a household word when the late James Brown screamed, "Hey Fred! Can I take it to the bridge?". If you were diggin' on James Brown, you were digging' on Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley. Fred's a hard player, not at all like the gentle style of Fontana and Nash. Considering his intense, style, I find it suprising the he plays a horn with a F attachment, but that's just me. Known by his work with James Brown, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton, the Horny Horns etc., Wesley is considered an R&B player but he also played with the Basie Band in the late 70's and is a fine jazz player as well.Fred Wesley - Wikipedia

Christian Lindberg
trombonist extrodinaire
Christian Lindberg is a unique individual. A classically trained trombonist from Stockholm Sweden, Christian is not only one of the finest players in the world; he is also quite an entertaining character. His antics and flamboyant personality are as endearing to his audiences as his amazing proficiency the instrument. In the video below, he is featured playing the alto trombone, that's right, the Eb Alto Trombone in Mozart's "Concerto For Alto Trombone".Christian Lindberg - Wikipedia

Don Drummond
the ska's the limit
Don Drummond is a true legend in trombone history and like many legends, his life was fast and short. His genius appeared at an early age and by the time he died at the tender age of 27, he had recorded over 300 songs and been called one of the five top trombonists in the world by George Shearing and Sarah Vaughan. In 1964 he and some friends put together the Skatalites and created a sound that would dominate the Jamaican music scene for years, establishing himself as a world class player and composer.Don Drummond - Wikipedia

Glen Ferris
avant gardener of the glissando
The first time I heard Glen Ferris I really didn't quite know what to make of him. It was on the album, "Don Ellis Goes Underground" and Glen was featured on a tune appropiatly named "Ferris Wheel". After the intro, the band cuts and Glen comes in at quadruple fortissimo and procedes to blast his way through the entire tune. It sounded a bit like a very angry young water buffalo in a great deal of pain. I quickly dismissed him as "all smoke and no cigar".I was wrong. The problem was that I only heard him on that tune. Had I listened to more of his work I would have realized that Glen Ferris is a true artist and he can really play. Of course it was years later that I figured that out. In addition to being a featured soloist with Don Ellis, he's also played with Frank Zappa, Billy Cobham, Randy and Michael Brecker just to name a few. You don't get to blow with those guys unless you've got something going on.

Locksley Wellington "Slide" Hampton
the ambassador
Slide Hampton's career is among the most distinguished in jazz. He is a master arranger and an excellent trombone player. One thing you might notice about Hampton is that he plays left handed. When he was only 12 years old he joined the family band. His father, a self taught mucician, handed him a trombone with the slide on the left so that's the way he learned to play. Hampton is a true icon of musical history.Slide Hampton - Wickipedia

Gunhild Carling, Gerd Carling and Selena Kuiper are three remrkable musicians that I must acknowledge. Gunhild and Gerd are sisters and play in the Carling Family Band from Stockholm, Sweeden. They are both multi-instrumentalists. In adition to being an excellent trombone player, Gunhild is quite the entertainer, playing three trumpets at the same time. Selena Kuiper (better known as "Slidin' Selena") plays with a Dutch group known as The Dixiland Crackerjacks and is the first woman in the Netherlands to achieve a masters degree in music for jazz trombone.

- Hector, I suppose I tend to gravitate to the jazzers in general so I did fail to mention Joe Alessi. I know he was principal with the New York Philharmonic and I'm guessing he still is as well as being on staff at Julliard. Alessi is unquestionably an amazingly articulate player with a tremendous range. He can quickly pop notes from the stratosphere to the basement as well as any trombone player I've ever heard. When I can find some time perhaps I will do a profile on him. Thanks for the heads up.
