This is probably the cleanest recording I have ever heard. All notes in all registers have the same energy and tone qualities. Not a single note was sacrificed for volume. Very well done!
I see lots of comments like this and while high dynamics ARE impressive, particularly in low brass, this is not the only sound a trombone should emit :)
This is something that's made me realize that I adore the sound of the bass trombone. All the aggression of a trumpet, the deep sound of a tuba mixed in. It's fantastic!
Thank you Tyler! Kleinhammer used to call the bass trombone the “furnace” of the brass section, when we heat up, so does everyone else! Fountains is the perfect example of that
While Euph was my major instrument, they don't use them in jazz...so I always played bone for that. I was nowhere near as talented on trombone so I "accidentally" got to play bass trombone for a couple semesters of jazz lab. BEST ACCIDENT EVER! When you want pretty....Euph is awesome...when you want to aggressively slap someone in the face with a low note....nothing beats bass trombone! No other instrument has made me WANT to pass out for lack of lung capacity! \oo/ \oo/
@@mikeszabo5631 have you ever played a cimbasso? I thiink they sound better than tubas and would probably sound really good played by a bass trombone specialist.
Absolutely incredible playing from you, the low brass section, and the orchestra. Easily the best precision and volume I've heard from the bass trombone, it was a privilege to listen to you play!
This is the best recording I have found. The thing that stands out to me is how well you can blend with the tuba, usually people overplay and drown out the tuba but you are clearly quite good at adjusting your dynamics to what is appropriate everyone else's playing.
Great job! That piece takes a lot out of the trombones. Last time I played it, the conductor for an encore repeated this movement, which practically murdered us!
My friend happened to show me this piece about a month ago and I can't stop practicing it, the low notes, the rhythms, everything about it is just crazy. It blows my mind every time I listen to this recording of it and makes me want to practice more and more. Can't wait to get this piece down.
I stumbled upon this video just over a month ago and I am not bluffing when I say that I have watched to it every single day after first stumbling upon it! I can't say thank you enough times!!!
I am absolutely astonished by this excerpt and it makes me really wanna play bass trombone or at least trombone. Ive watched this at least 50 times lol
Haven’t commented even after all this time, but I’ve watched this dozens times over and I can’t get enough of it. This is so tidy, and I’ve been working to get my sound this clean. Hoping to use this piece for my university auditions in a few weeks. Thank you so much for the inspiration ✨
Wow. Just wow. Such astonishment from the playing. Pretty much flawless, I must say, you should get a ton of views, likes, and subscribes, because of how well you play.
all the joy i get from watching this! i love your sound and i truly want to become a better trombonist when i hear you play! you play this so easily! it's just incredible!!!
As a bass trombonist myself I can point out one thing He sits into the tubas sounds so well until he plays the famous excerpt but even then he plays so beautifully This piece destroys trombonists as it’s so demanding for us trombonists but it’s so damn fun to play and beautiful it’s worth it Love from Sweden
Thanks very much! Yes that’s right, I do lay back until the melody starts in the bass line. That way you give extra impact and meaning to the line and aren’t over playing the less important bits
Holy crap! You are an incredible bass Trombone player but id also like to give a shout-out to Tim Buzbee for being one of my all time favorite players! I wish I had more recordings of him on his big Tuba and in general! Anyways, my dude, your sound is so clear and crisp, it just cuts through the orchestra! Wonderful job guys, probably the cleanest recording and best paced recording I’ve heard for this movement!
Thank you, I will tell Tim you said so….in case you didn’t know already we have an excerpt CD called “Eruptions 2” out now that you might be interested in checking out. Cheers
This stuff gives me goosebumps and makes me miss my bass trombone so... so much. I would say at my best and most involved, I was fast approaching this level of sound, but unfortunately I haven't played in almost 15 years....
@@aidancessna1548 my pleasure Aidan.....credit goes to Respighi for the amazing part and my colleagues, especially Tim Buzbee on this occasion, for making my job a lot easier!
I'm so happy these older vids are now popping up in my feed. Just fantastic playing. 👏 If you're into jazz at all, check out my Mo'tet tunes on my channel.
Hey! I really like this song an I'd like to know if you have seen sheet music of it anywhere. I've scattered the web for this song and can only find recordings of the Bass Trombone part, but no sheet music. I am a highschool bass trombonist and I think this would be really fun to learn over the summer as school won't be in session, meaning I have to practice on my own. Thanks Mike, amazing work done here!
when I was doing auditions many years ago I bought the part itself direct from the publisher. Around $30, and that was 30 years ago, but it was the only way to get the notation, unless your orchestra played it during your tenure.
@@mikeszabo5631 its amazing... lately i won the audition to the jerusalem symphony orchestra on the bass trombone and when i listen to you i realise exacly how i want to sound with them. Amazing playing i love it

Henry Dreitner thanks very much!
especially the triplet into the 16th notes. Was godly clean!
This is what a trombone should sound like period
I see lots of comments like this and while high dynamics ARE impressive, particularly in low brass, this is not the only sound a trombone should emit :)
@@mr.fordnite1909 im confused? This excerpt had a ton of both high and low dynamics, and the original commenter never even mentioned high dynamics
@@mr.fordnite1909 I think he was referring to the tone and richness that this guys sound has, not just the dynamic.
@@mr.fordnite1909 He just meant sound quality, not that he literally just wanna hear fortissimo low E’s. Read the room
The rest of y’all gotta chill
The mic doesn't do it enough justice. Incredible.

@@somebody9033 I think tuba sounds better
Whenever I record myself on a phone I sound like garbage. If it’s this amazing on this recording I can only imagine the sound in person.
Thank you!

I agree. I sound good in person, but not on my iPhone. Haha
I phones have very low frequency response due to bandwidth.
Absolutely incredible playing from you, the low brass section, and the orchestra. Easily the best precision and volume I've heard from the bass trombone, it was a privilege to listen to you play!

Thanks!! Although I doubt many bass trombonists could overblow Tim! 😀
Rule number 1. The Tuba and bass trombone should never be playing louder than each other
You can never really drown out a good tuba player
Tuba and bass trombone is the best orchestral duo ❤
Great job! That piece takes a lot out of the trombones. Last time I played it, the conductor for an encore repeated this movement, which practically murdered us!

Magnificent sound and precision
Great job with one of the most difficult excerpts. Really solid playing.
This is simply breathtaking to hear your isolated sounds in the context of the orch in the background. So cool!
One of the best fountain recordings I've heard. I learned it because you played it so well so I was like "I wonder what I could do"
Nelson Moreno thank you! Remember to keep the air moving!
I stumbled upon this video just over a month ago and I am not bluffing when I say that I have watched to it every single day after first stumbling upon it! I can't say thank you enough times!!!
Thanks very much for your kind words, Joshua! It’s very gratifying to know this video means a lot to you
I watch this almost every morning to remind me its worth playing trombone 😂
Same 😳
I am absolutely astonished by this excerpt and it makes me really wanna play bass trombone or at least trombone. Ive watched this at least 50 times lol
Bass bone is the baddest instrument on the planet.
@@evracer as a tuba player, i have to agree with this. bass bone is badass
@@melissastuba Euphonist here....have played one for a few semesters in jazz lab. Never played an instrument that begged you to pass out.....lol 😂
Powerful bass trombone❤️ i love it
At 1:43, the sound was smooth and clean. You have got to agree. The notes were separated well to make it smooth and clean.
This song slaps so hard that I watch it 6 to 10 times a day
Awesome thanks!
I keep watching this video over and over because how this excerpt was played is so satisfying. Such goals.
Thank you very much!
When you're really in the music, at 1.22 Fountain of Rome flow from your mouthpiece !!!! 😄😄😄👍🏻
Monsters
This is great playing! Also, I dig the tempo. I feel like everyone takes this movement way too fast overall. This was perfect!
don't get how someone could put a thumbs down to this, his articulation is basically perfect and his tone is impeccable... probably a woodwind player.
Haha, good one!
Or viola!
@@awealer twoset gang
I love to revisit this video from time to time. It’s inspiring!
KnightVista thank you!
I have been regularly coming back to this video for many years as my sound inspiration when I play Fountains. Incredible quality, Bravo!
Haven’t commented even after all this time, but I’ve watched this dozens times over and I can’t get enough of it. This is so tidy, and I’ve been working to get my sound this clean. Hoping to use this piece for my university auditions in a few weeks. Thank you so much for the inspiration ✨
Thanks very much, KB! Keep working at it, especially practicing a lot slow and MF. You will get there!
Thanks! I ended up getting accepted to the program :)
Gave me the goosebumps :D Nice job! It reminds me of what I loved about playing tuba in orchestras when I was younger.
Wow. Just wow. Such astonishment from the playing. Pretty much flawless, I must say, you should get a ton of views, likes, and subscribes, because of how well you play.

Wow that's some amazing bass trombone playing.
Thanks! I like how people still enjoy this video after quite a few years!
"Fountains" doesn't seem to get the same amount of love that "Pines" and "Festivals" get...this should help.
As a bass trombonist myself I can point out one thing

Thank you for this version Mike! It’s really great to hear a clean sound and register all the time.

Thanks very much, that’s great!
You make it look so effortless!
Thank you Brad, much appreciated!

Still as dank in 2021 as it was in 2020. Good heavens. Bravo sir.

Wonderful!! A greeting form Italy
A tuba players dream is to have a bass trombonist of your caliber at their side. Mr. Buzbee is a lucky man!
Sheer awesomeness! Ready to leap tall buildings with a single bound! A definite keeper for "Jeri's Impavida" (Public Playlist).
I think this is my favorite video on TH-cam.
Thanks very much Emily!
I️ hope to reach your skill level on the Bass Trombone one day.
What a workout. Dang, son.
Fantastic bass playing!!!
Cheers!
Absolutely amazing playing once again
look at how the tubist deflates on the long notes! visualizes very well the work that goes into stuff like this
That movement gets right to the guts of the piece - the bowel movement.
🤣🤣🤣
Dude!!!! This is awesome! I love this!!!
Cheers Phil!
