The Best Trombonist To Grace the Earth Ever!! Swing, Dynamics, Articulation, Harmonics, Interpretation, Sound Sound Sound! Everything that makes a musical genius.
@@bombaexplodeza1377 Joseph Alessi is an amazing musician but he couldn't do what Frank Rosolino did. I heard him try to do jazz improvisation and it sounded like dog shit. Alessi is primarily a classical musician.
Rosolino was one fantastic trombonist, 4 sure and one my all-time favorites. but even with that in mind I wouldn't say he's the best to grace the earth. all of us will eventually hear someone who strikes us that way, but there are so many we'll never hear.
Frank had a very articulated, arpeggiated, almost "choppy" style, to be sure. But his lyricism didn't really come close to Carl Fontana's and Bill Watrous's IMHO. Watrous certainly gigged with Rosolino to good effect and certainly learned from him, but Watrous had a sweet, syrupy style that Rosolino did not have. Fontana also had a very doodly style that Watrous emulated. Definitely interesting how they all learned from each other. And how they're different at the same time.
Paul The T. What Y think of These Cats Frank Rosolino, Carl Fontana, Jay Jay, J, Kai Winding, Curtis Fuller ( and some scandinavians, like Åke Person, Frode Thingnes, swede and norwegian?
Frank was the best! Never heard another trombonist with his technical skill, huge range, and melodic beauty. Thumbs up to you Paul The Trombonist from a past T-bone player that hasn't played since 2005 due to a bunch of physical crap. Well, I think I'm ready to try playing again; My restored 1935 Bach model 6 is lonesome in the case, and I have music inside of me that needs to get out.
@@jangunnarolsen5946Rosolino was the best; Fontana and Winding were great, the others you mentioned had their moments. Other than Rosolino; Trummy Young , and Juan Tizol are the ones that rank above the rest for me.
We all have to acknowledge this man's talent, at the very least. Even if you don't emulate him in your playing, you have to realize that this is STILL a very high-level of musicianship. Rossolino had an incredibly secure upper range.... it catches my ear by surprise because I'm so fixed on his dexterity and clarity on trombone!
@@postatility9703 you mean shooting your two sons and then killing yourself? No, it's not funny. Guy straight up murdered his kid. So, maybe we shouldn't emulate him at all...
What strikes me also: the way he sings in 'Please don't bug me' is so similar to the way he plays in on the trombone (clear, fast articulation, bending notes etc). What a fenomenal trombone player and what a performer. He truly is my favorite jazz trombonist of all times.
Jazz Scene USA was clearly the best format for presenting the jazz talents in our country. This program featuring Frank Rosolino shows what an outstanding musician he was. At this time of his career, he could be seen every evening on the Steve Allen Show as he was an integral of the band that was led by pianist Don Trenner. Frank also played some hilarious parts in the skits that were part of this program. He led a "commando attack" on the Hollywood Ranch Market which was across the street from Steve's studio.
D B You seem to have an unhealthy obsession with Rosolino’s murder suicide. Despite what he did he is still an amazing musician, one that should be respected for his contributions to the trombone.
Wow what a different world! This might explain why I am so attracted to b&w videos on TH-cam. As for Frank Rosolino, I am always blown away whenever he blows.
Okay, I don't expect you to listen to the entirety of the piece, but simply wanted to expose you to jazz trombone by one of the greatest. Yes, his life ended tragically, but not his music. This 1962 piece fits into the period of my novels, an era of great change in our country, obviously an on going process. Take time to enjoy a few bars.
Frank is the BEST there ever was on the trombone. He influenced so many other incredible players. You can hear a lot of his style in Bill Watrous’ work.
vim pela entrevista de raul de soul trombonista e amigos de longas datas e quando ele vinha para o Brasil ,o trombonista raul de souza até fez uma musica para ele que é " saudade do Frank" o som de rosolino é um espetaculo
Rossolino, the greatest for ever. I've heard him for first time woth Pete Rugolo and the arrangements for 10 trombones. He played for over them. Great Maestro Rossolino!!
here are full details: "Give Irving my love" (theme); "Yesterdays" by Otto Harbach, Jerome Kern; "Mean to me" by Roy Turk, Fred E. Ahlert; "Please don't bug me" by and vocal by Frank Rosolino; "Lover man" by Jimmy Davis, Ram Ramirez, Jimmy Sherman; "Well, you needn't" by Thelonious Monk. (Songs) - Frank Rosolino, trombone; Michael Melvoin, piano; Bob Bertaux, acoustic double bass; Nick Martinis, drums. (Personnel on Camera) - Recorded on 31st July 1962 and hosted by Oscar Brown, Jr.
Hard to believe that this extroverted, high spirited performer would shoot himself to death as well as his children in 1978. Depression is a terrible disease.
Frank Rosolino grande interpret do Trombone, referência. Continuamos por aqui, viva o jazz, viva a música boa. Viva o swing, viva a África, viva tudo que é de bom e cultural nesse planeja !!! Domingo 15 de agosto de 2021. Anderson Cesar trombone violeiro e cantador !!!
Wow , fantastic and unbeknown to me , a very tight and musical ensemble with great sounding piano , very entertaining and many thanks for uploading this gem !
Astounding video! Never seen another that captures the artistry of a trombonist quite like this one does. What a tragic figure Rosolino was--- suicide/murder in 1978.
Brother you are obsolutely Correct.Frank Was Simply the best trombonist that ever walk on this planet called Earth.His Technique,Sound,Intonation, articulation.He plays Intervals of 2,3,4 Etc. almost imposible for a trombone.Only Frank could play like this.A Genius!
+Jorge Miranda I'm a sax/flute player myself, so wasn't aware of his specific technical skills. Thanks for letting me know. Although I' was always impressed with his melodic lines. His high notes are trilling. i.e at 2.59 in yesterdays.
Hi Robert.The man was out of this world.He was in Another level.I recommend a Cd of him Fond Memories with Van dyke trio 70's.Where he plays All the things you are and Autum leaves,My Funny Valentine.It just Outstanding.Also the lp Of Stan Levy Grand Stan.Cheers!
listen to his unmistakable sound on both the opening and closing themes for JOHNNY QUEST ! Yeah that's Frank playing the trbn. solo * note for the opening theme he uses an ascending line while the closing theme uses a descending line
What was that Peak Note Mr.Rosilino hit in Yesterdays? a F,E,or G double prime over middle C? Man...What Chops..Fun..and Soul Frank Played and Sang with...I have Partial Hearing Loss so i cannot detect it but Looking at alternate Notes over Plus pr Minus THird and Fourth Position that IS the Hot Spot!!!
Good evening everyone! I have a little question if somebody could help I really appreciate the answer. I been looking for the full lyrics of “ pennies from heaven “ by Frank Rosolino. Someone special to me is looking the solo lyrics but no where is the translation/transcription to learn the full song in my country! all the pages are blocked for COPYRIGHT or something. and we can't find the best part ever his SOLO ( scoobibobbbieee dubbie ...... ) Anybody knows where I could find it? anybody can helpme maybe Thanks for read, and greetings from Argentina.
A pure master of his chosen instrument the trombone ..Such a tragic life .... On November 26, 1978, Rosolino shot both of his sons as they slept. One died instantly; the other survived, but was blinded. Rosolino shot himself in the head immediately after shooting his sons and died.
Conn 6H or a small bore Olds I guess. He has become legendary on the 6H with the whole trombone section of the Stan Kenton Big Band which completely played the Conn 6H.
Wow these are people like us that have problems mental as maybe , oh i met BW. BILL watrous in cali he was nice to me i dident know that u could go to there pad and take lessons , hang out
Rosolino....moves me through the black and the white...slides me up and down....brass and steel...smokey streets...New York....and Atom Bombs.....junk in the arm and blues on the sleeve. Rosolino.....where is your moody blues shoes? At the end of a shotgun...blood on the bed...and blood in my head. Rosolino....the bell tolls and yet ...you...blow...on.

Despite his end, he’s a human being like us, his vains had blood, like ours do. Jesus teach us to love men as he loved us. I am sure God forgave him. And he’s probably in purgatory. (i’m catholic) Blessings y’all 🎺
I'm not catholic, but I pray there is a purgatory because of his drug use. I'll always think his wife shot him and the boys and then gassed herself. No, I'll never believe Frank would shoot his sons.

All I can tell you is that when I was coming up in Los Angeles, Frank was everywhere and on almost every cool gig and session. Great player.

Frank was simply the best. Genius.
When jazz was soulful & full alive! This man sings great also, and his scit-scat at the beginning are amazing.
I know I just dig it so that so much I love it
Y’all might not know this but frank is my great uncle aka my dad’s uncle. My dad saw him live quite a few times and said he was so good live.
D B You seem to have an unhealthy obsession with Rosolino’s murder suicide. Despite what he did he is still an amazing musician, one that should be respected for his contributions to the trombone.
He was one who made a great impact on the music and Jazz community..... he had that natural born talent 💯💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wow,I didn't know what a beast Mike Melvoin was!TH-cam is an unending learning experience.
Yes it was an eye opener for me too and a great sounding piano too , happy listening !
My favorite trombonist of all time. RIP Frank, but Frank'll still knock you off your chair.

Rosolino is the greatest bone player that ever walked on this planet.
No other comes close.
Vraiment très bon !

Always amazing to hear him
Thank you for this! Just awesome!

Rossolino, the greatest for ever. I've heard him for first time woth Pete Rugolo and the arrangements for 10 trombones. He played for over them. Great Maestro Rossolino!!

Hard to believe that this extroverted, high spirited performer would shoot himself to death as well as his children in 1978. Depression is a terrible disease.
The way he holds the trombone at 6:00 XD
D B lol so negative
Just Wonderful!
This so good

The opening solo on Yesterdays reminds me alot of John Allred's playing. I bet he is a big Frank Rosollino fan
Wow , fantastic and unbeknown to me , a very tight and musical ensemble with great sounding piano , very entertaining and many thanks for uploading this gem !
Los Italianos..siempre somos buenos!!...hasta siempre!!.....lo seremos!! viva el Jazz!!

Jorge Miranda joe allesi is the best trombonist
Bomba Explodeza
Joe Allesi
Is in Classical Music.
2 Different Style.
In Jazz Nobody can Touch Rosolino.
listen to his unmistakable sound on both the opening and closing themes for JOHNNY QUEST ! Yeah that's Frank playing the trbn. solo * note for the opening theme he uses an ascending line while the closing theme uses a descending line
No trombone player will ever be able to duplicate Frank Rosolino's playing. He will own that technique forever.
esse cara é um máximo cara esse cara toca muito gosto muito dele
Legend. Period.
Mike Melvoin is so good!!!
I miss Frank.
Frank really was amazing. Watrous ... wonderful , Fontana ... fantastic but Frank was the real ( damaged ) deal.
Aooaa xalana
Que som !! Wow
O melhor trombonista que passou nessa terra
Creo..es el mejor!!....lo opacaron!!...gran técnica!!..inigualable.
What was that Peak Note Mr.Rosilino hit in Yesterdays? a F,E,or G double prime over middle C? Man...What Chops..Fun..and Soul Frank Played and Sang with...I have Partial Hearing Loss so i cannot detect it but Looking at alternate Notes over Plus pr Minus THird and Fourth Position that IS the Hot Spot!!!
This is a late reply but he played a double F. Specifically an F5. Top F of the treble clef staff.
Wow Rosolino really on point in this one
Se parece a mi bisabuelo!!..es casi igual...
Brilliant trombone sound!
Frank!
Ths great artist also played on "Trombones, Inc" and (I think) on Urbies volumes of "plus 20 trombones"
Hate to tell you Oscar but you’re holding the trombone upside down. 05:36.
10:45 please don't bug me
I’m really loving this
This is my ringtone
TOP
Frank could play a bit, just kidding, greatest jazz or any other genre, ever, wow.
even his voice has the sound of a trombone!
He talks as he played lol.

Thanks for read, and greetings from Argentina.
Best to transcribe from the recording. But however I did notice this on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/1cLR0NzOtoc/w-d-xo.html
Damn this cat is so good
Wow ! :-O
55 YEARS AGO !!!! SCARY !! TERRIFIC !!!
Now 60!
Rosolino is the greatest trombone player in the world.
God................................
El rey del Staccato..
16:56 “Oh yeah” or “Hurry up”?
He was my great uncle 😑
Nick Martinis on drums.
Who is on piano?
What was going on in there?!...and shit, then be able to play it on a damn trombone...
A pure master of his chosen instrument the trombone ..Such a tragic life ....
On November 26, 1978, Rosolino shot both of his sons as they slept. One died instantly; the other survived, but was blinded. Rosolino shot himself in the head immediately after shooting his sons and died.
If you appreciate greatness
Just enjoy the great trombone and jazz music ever made .
What bone is he playing here?
Conn 6H or a small bore Olds I guess. He has become legendary on the 6H with the whole trombone section of the Stan Kenton Big Band which completely played the Conn 6H.
As far as the tenor trombone players in the Kenton Band is concerned.
I remember seeing a picture of it somewhere, I'm pretty sure it was an Olds custom, with some really nice engraving on it too
facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=814645258668075&set=pcb.10154154416259948&type=3&theater
Many thanks, also for the picture. Very nice - I think also Frank is playing an Olds on this recording.
Wow these are people like us that have problems mental as maybe , oh i met BW. BILL watrous in cali he was nice to me i dident know that u could go to there pad and take lessons , hang out
his 'stuttering' is quite typical of his style...
Everyone in the comments acting like this guy didn’t murder his family.
You know what's really crazy...I don't care at all. He's a mf'er of a trombone player. The greatest.
Dude is good but it strikes me as odd that nobody tempers their love just a tad bit
I met his blind surviving son Jason today.
@@Nimbaog interesting, I hope he is well
He died tragically, way too soon.

ロソリーノはまさにヴァーテュオーゾ。だが…ジャズに於いてJJよりも扱いが下。ずっと釈然としない。
He had a way of playing quick ideas without sounding like a tenor player trapped in a bone player’s body
