I was there. Life altering experience.
herb bruce Herb, I was fortunate to hear him live too. In Dallas with Carl. It was 6 weeks before all that crap went down.
It also altered my life. Something about his playing....it always felt as if there was a direct connection between his horn and his soul. So heartfelt and emotional.
herb bruce I had the pleasure of sitting in as the keyboard player when Frank came to Toronto on one of his many visits. I first met him when he was playing with Stan Kenton. I have never heard anybody play slide bone the way he did. I could not beleive it. To me the greatest bone player that has ever played Jazz. Just check out his playing on all the beautiful ballads that he used to play. A true Legend!!
I also was there.
Also check out his solo on "All the things you are" with Super Sax......... the Tokyo Concert. He did twicw as mouth with the valves and anybody could do with the slides. They don't come on the scene like this anymore!!!!
I agree with you there only a hand full of musicians who become one with there chosen instrument in sync. The likes of Ella and Pat Metheny and my buddy James Morrison ...Truly a God or higher entity gift I believe
Had a few seconds of a chat with Doc Severinsenon on a break and I asked him about Frank. He said that he was the most natural improviser he had ever heard. That's a good description from a great player in his own right.
Rosolino's solo is absolutely beautiful, but also Kolb offers us a true jewel. Underrated pianist and amazing trombone player.
I loved this. Beautiful rendition. Oh my!
OMG that Bubba Kolb just kills!
Incredible ideas
He always left it all on the field. He had so much to say.
Wow powerful Frank Rosolino is the most brilliant and 1of a kind... I get chills
@Max Masteller yo Watrous is good but two separate styles, I personally prefer Frank but I also love Watrous, everyone has their own opinions tho
6:13 - 6:29 WHOA. So simple, so hip.
Esse solo de piano do Buba Kolb, pra mim, é oais lindo s harmonioso que ouvi de body and soul, até hoje ..Frank dá outro show!!! ABCS. .
Got to hear Frank once in Toronto with Supersax ... almost pawned my trombone right then and there .. no shit !!!
lrossmusic That is inspired of me I love when people talk good about him
Of the three versions of the classic jazz tune "body and soul", I consider this rendition one of the best. The other versions are by Dexter Gordon with his group, and Oscar Peterson playing with the Boston Pops Orchestra, John Williams conducting. But Frank Rosolini is " the MAN" when you're speaking about trombone playing musicians. A giant he was, and remains to this day.

How about Kurt Elling's "A new body and soul" ????? Great vocals!!
Sam Brinson Bill Watrous.
How could there be people talking in the background? They haven`t a clue of what their listening to! RIP,Frank! You earned it!
Ed Potts yes he did didn’t he,Grateful that we still carry on the family tradition of music in our family we miss him very much
Beautiful harmony.
Don't know what happened to Frank but his playing lives on through these recordings to inspire us. Thanks for posting this jazzy trbn
Bryan Free trmbn.
Bryan, where are you playing these days??
sorry to tell you frank killed himself and murdered his son many many years ago. a terrible shame
@@albiondi4078 Been reading up on him recently. Apparently he had some mental issues and his private life was always in turmoil. Exactly what those issues I don't know. Those that were in his inner circle have remained tight lipped over the years.
frankie baby! my favorite trombone time player
ben lupinacci John quu
wat can you say about frank words fail me except GENIUS but ithink that will do nicely.he was somethin else.many thanks.
I agree with he was a character and he’s part of The people I know and love
Frank!
I was there. He is my uncle.

I have the Stan Kenton Dvd with Frank Playing with his band he looked a happy go lucky guy but after reading his life story so tragic.
Fred Fungus just give me the chills when people know about jazz let alone my uncle because people really have lost the touch of music nowadays me being young I appreciate music and I’m glad you do as well
Jack Sheldon used to do a comedy bit about how the Kenton Band guys were depressed and insane.
No one has ever come close.
Sidney Tweel And no one ever well my uncle Frank was the best
sidney, you are RIGHT!
Wow....what he plays on the bridge @ 5:16 and beyond
I thought you might be at this, Herb.
Rosolino seems to have had an unlimited number of musical ideas in his improvisations!
Too Much and Right in There! Taken from a "Rosolino quote"
bob riddle Did you know my uncle Frank?
bob riddle I love being a Rosolino that name is just beautiful and so are the people in my family that are close to me
Is this performance on cd anywhere?
This was recorded at Walt Disney, possibly the week of his death! Bubba Kolb, the piano player and I played in the trombone section of the big band at Disney. Bubba was a multi talented threat!!
Sorry, Ed. Ig was the Disney appearance, Frank's only one there, and that Friday was his last one on earth!
You are correct. My bad. Just found a Dick Gibson Jazz Concert film on youtube. Watch one hour 12 minutes for the ten minutes. This is how I choose to remember him.
Frank was my idol!
Joe Lane pretty close to it yeah rest in peace uncle Frank he was awesome
Did they record Rosolino with a paper cup and a string here? Uncut? More like understudy recording technician.
Io rimango dell'idea che sia il piu' grande trombonista jazz della storia.Forse potrebbe rompergli i coglioni Carl Fontana...Ma Frank e' Frank!W Rosolino!Mille anni cosi'!
i never knew he also shot his sons before killed himself, now I lost completely the respect for him :(
He had a severe case of Bi-Polar Disorder. During a deep depressive episode, he did these horrible things. During his "other side" he gave us this beautiful music. It's a horrible event, which even scarred the police officers who responded, but I would strongly recommend you not judge this, at least not without a strong reflection upon the seriousness of mental illness and how our efforts to handle it are fruitless. This is part of the bad and good we have in this world. We ought not to put expectation that someone could not also be severely ill with mental illness, yet do this kind of music. It's actually common. I have friends who were friends of Frank, and they knew darn well he was suffering from some mental malady. One day he was crazy doing amazing things and making a million jokes, then next he would be hiding away and unreachable.
Why are you wearing that mask? Didn't you get the memo that the Covid threat is over and that wearing a mask did nothing to reduce transmission.
JJ has a better sound and time feel.
JJ, on a King 3B had a darker, often more compressed sound. Rosolino, on a Conn 6H, had a fairly open sound, sometimes breaking at the top of his range. As far as the sound here, he's playing right on top of the mike in a live situation, and the recording quality is what it is. Besides, comparing the two is apples and oranges. Listen to both. Both are icons.
Rosolino said in one of his master classes that JJ is JJ and that’s nice, but he doesn’t want to be like JJ. I think it was something like that
JJ does have better sound. Frank has very individual sound and rhythmic patterns, which to me are exciting and uplifting.
AND NO MATTER WHO HAS WHATEVER SOUND, YOU'RE A MONSTER MORON! STUPID AS SHIT!!
