When I was walking up Market St in San Francisco in 1957 to my brothers apartment carrying my trombone case I crossed paths with Kid Ory carrying his old ragged trombone case. He was apparently heading to the Tin Angel where he gigged. By this time he was old and wrinkled (like I am now). As he passed by going the opposite way he looked at me and said, "Hi, Kid." Etched in my mind forever...
Me too. Incredibly deep and comprehensive knowledge, truly educational, but also an astonishing range of expression and technique: rare! I actually met Al Grey after a gig once, and got him to autograph a vinyl album - didn't really know who he was, but my dad told me he once played with Count Basie
Paul this is really deep. You've done the studying and thanks for sharing this with the community. One thought none of these guys ever recorded on a clip on the bell condenser microphone. Instantly making it sound note like the players you're emulating get a ribbon or something and put it back in the room.
Yeah I'm inclined to agree with you, I like the smoother, faster lines better than the brash ones. Plus they seem to have a more melodic sense than many others.
Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller is why I like the trombone. My father was into the Big Band Era and later on in life The Lawence Welk Show. I remember when I was a kid listening to his 78s; they would break at the sound of a sneeze, very fragile. I do appreciate those days. Only if I could revisit the past.
Awesome demonstration. I realize there is not time to do them all, but I would also like to hear Bob McChesney, Ted Heath, Christian Lindberg, and one of my little known favorites......Harold Betters.
Amazying diversity! I admire your intonation and phrasing. Are you quoting these guys or creating your own rendition? What I am getting at is would you be willing to post some of your transcriptions?

@PaulTheTrombonist Wow!!! Amazing playing, and incredible playing ! How is it possible to play so differently than your regular sound?! Good Job Paul !!!! :)
Amazing. These were all spot on. Love Urbie Green, been listening to his funk era stuff where he messed around with effects pedals. So many great trombone players out there for inspiration
how do you create the 'bright' or 'hot' sound of someone as Trummy Young? it sounds like you're 'blatting' if that's the term. Or is it something that you can play piannissimo? (''blattetes")
Deborah Smith his solo on Mysterioso. First released on an album called JJ in person with Nat Adderly. Later released on an album called the Trombone master
The first ones, Ory, Mole, and Nanton, are near perfect. Glenn Miller - a mediocre trombonist - did not play like this at all; after all, he was not so modern. Tommy Dorsey, well he had two styles, one for sweet pieces and a jazz style (listen to the Clambake Seven). I could recognize him by this imitation. Vic Dickenson's phrasing was like that, but he had a different, very special intonation - I admit I never managed to copy that, either. Lawrence Brown does not sound recognizable to me. Teagarden's phrasing is okay, but he "sang" more: more vibrato, longer notes. I find no similarity of the Dicky Wells bit to the original, whereas Jack Jenney is made up to perfection. Trummy Young had an "explosive" style, with a lot of growl, but not so modern. Bill Harris' phrasing is mimicked okay, but Harris blew more to the point technically - our young man ia in trouble here. Kai Winding is perfect, again, so are Benny Green and J.J. Johnson. Al Grey is okay, Urbie Green perfect (I would buy this as the original at any time). Frankie Rosolino (one of my favorites) is depicted very well. I can't judge the Melba Liston bit - don't know too well. The next few sound very well-made to me, particularly Carl Fontana. I would not have recognized Albert Mangelsdorff, well his technique of blowing and singing at the same time is very difficult to copy, particularly at this speed. Slide Hampton and Curtis Fuller - wonderful. The next few are all copied very well, especially Grachan Moncur and Jiggs Whigham. - ALL IN ALL, THIS IS QUITE A REMARKABLE FEAT. COMPLIMENTS!
Jefferson pereira de lima yeah he deserves to be in here. there were a lot of players that I could not fit in. i hope to make another one day with more players. take care
yeah great job...I enjoy your videos...Please consider Harold Betters (born 1928)as well...He's still playing, I love his style....Maybe you could interview him....

Great work! I just found this in '22. I'm glad you did not miss Albert Mangelsdorff, he's my all time favourite!

Your Carl Fontana impression was amazing!
I was thinking the exact same thing. All the styles were spot on, but it's not every day you can hear such a faithful homage to such a giant.
Nuts! Nice job with this. JJ, Fontana, Watrous are my favs.
Yeah I'm inclined to agree with you, I like the smoother, faster lines better than the brash ones. Plus they seem to have a more melodic sense than many others.
Imagine if all of them could've been on bone masters.
Mindblowing. So versatile. 🙌🏽 Great video, thx for posting and all your effort to make this videos. Very appreciated
Absolutely AMAZING Paul! To do all this shows you are a genius!. You certainly have done your homework. Thank you
Keep coming back to this video, just pure ear candy
wow, I just found this and realllllllllllllly enjoyed this musical history …..Thanks!!!!!!!!
Thanks for stopping by and the nice words!

I remember when I was a kid listening to his 78s; they would break at the sound of a sneeze, very fragile. I do appreciate those days. Only if I could revisit the past.
I waited to be critical of "Carl Fontana"......and you were right on!!!
OMG!! Nailed most of them esp Rosolino, JJ, and Billy Watrous.
Tough!! Bravo☆☆☆☆☆☆
This is great! Exactly what I've been looking for since I've been researching early jazz trombonists :)
Well Done Paul!! A great overview, played beautifully. Thanks very much!
What an outstanding performance this is!!! ...and very informative too !
This is amazing!!! Fontana is mind blowing
Unbelievable! Great!
The Carl Fontana one blew my mind!
I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Carl in Las Vegas. You're "Fontana" was great!
Hi Paul, I have never see this video and I'm very impressed about, wow !!!! Thanks for share this with all us
Wow. Just wow.
Great job.
It shows you've studied a lot of Fontana!
Which was the hardest one to do?
I believe it's Rossolino, that style is just impossible to nail.
This is fantastic study and emulation.
Simply outstanding.
Amazing performance. You nailed the ones I know. Just wow!
I dont know about others, but bill watrous was spot on, even his sound.
that was fun! Follow me on twitter to get in on the action next time twitter.com/jazztrombonist

Espectacular 👌
Thanks paul oh by the way have u thought of using a period horn to really capture the true sound.

bonita Homenagem!
Miff Mole sounded a lot like George Brunis from the New Orleans Rhythm Kings...unless it was Miff Mole on that date (1923).
Great!))))
Omg and Big T
Great job ! Kid Ory mastered the trombone .
Is it common for jazz trombonists like yourself to articulate with a hard tongue? Is it stylistically appropriate.
Thats a week ass UIL comment wake up
Need fire set under me to get my trombone polished and Lip in shape I have a recording olds with an octagon slide
where is the jj solo from
Deborah Smith his solo on Mysterioso. First released on an album called JJ in person with Nat Adderly. Later released on an album called the Trombone master
