I had the extreme pleasure of playing on the same stage as this legendary man. A generational talent and total wonderful person.
when did you play with him
@roof897 He has performed with a wind Symphony l played in in New Jersey. He's been with us 4 times and Phil Smith too. Both super humble and outstanding gentlemen.
He came to my college to give a master class nearly twenty years ago.
I played this in World Youth Orchestra in the 70's. The night before the concert we were out having dinner, and I got up to leave, in advance of the group, to spend some quiet time reflecting upon what...'risks' I might take with my solo. The principle oboist, with whom I been struggling to flirt despite language problems, asked me where I was going. I said I was going to work on my solo, and she said, 'what solo?' I said Bolero of course, and she said, "There's a trombone solo in Bolero?'
I first thought it was a joke, then a language problem, but it wasn't. Indeed, most of the young principle woodwind and string players, for whom soloing was a daily affair, had never made, or factored an independently advised (by account of its technical challenge and consequence) or consideration of trombonist's 'learned' anxiety over a simple...throw-away...'statement of the theme'. In fact, most did not even account it 'as' a 'solo' as such for what little ensemble consequence it had.
It was on that occasion that I was...'schooled' anew, to receive the greatest gift of contextual reorientation a teenage trombonist could ever hope for. I only ever played it once again, but I never lost any sleep over it after that fortuitous moment. If you want to win peels of laughter from other orchestral principles, talk to them about the 2nd trombone 'solo' in Scheherazade. LOL! I left Aspen the year prior to my first stint in WYO because we spent 2 hours talking about it.
This acculturated 'low' brass-esteem (pun intended) is why first trombonists are generally called principles rather than soloist!
Totally new aspects.... never heard before
So clearly explained Wonderful

Yes. It's much easier to keep accurate tempo while playing (or, in my case, recording an arrangement of) Bolero in 6/4 rather than 3/4 time.
Sounds like he has a mute in
bro what he has a ring on his lips.
We called it ‘hamburger lip’
first thing he ask for something is tempo.... and there is no fucking tempo on his interpretation, nice teacher.
maybe you should tell him that
Tempo seemed almost metronomic to me. Maybe you are just deaf?
be a better musician and just know. Its called being a musician not a robot. get a life
Can’t you listen?
Not really sure why he had a glissando to Ab at 1:18-1:19?
Yeah that’s a bit different especially first position Ab is very flat but hey. He’s a pro so he’s sounds good no matter what alternate position he uses
Bro is nobody else seeing the outline of the mouthpice he has on his face
fr this guy is dedicated asf
yeah what bro is scarred.
If you see the other vids from this series, I'm pretty sure he played all those other excerpts for it.
He has has that since 1985! Hahah
@@Soda19He has that in every video, that is because he has played a lot basically every day for way too many years. That's how you know someone's a pro.
